Description
This premium silicone rubber strip is a high-performance sealing and gasket material designed for demanding industrial and commercial environments. Manufactured to a 60° Shore A hardness, it provides an excellent balance of flexibility and durability, making it ideal for applications where reliable sealing, cushioning, and insulation are required.
Available in a choice of widths and thicknesses, with optional adhesive backing, this versatile silicone strip can be easily tailored to suit a wide range of uses, including machinery sealing, enclosure gasketing, vibration damping, and heat-resistant barriers. Its inherent resistance to temperature extremes and ageing makes it a long-lasting solution in both indoor and outdoor settings.
Product Features
- 60° Shore A hardness silicone rubber for a firm yet flexible sealing and gasketing performance.
- Available widths of 95 mm and 100 mm to suit common channel, frame, and panel sizes.
- Multiple thickness options including 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm and additional sizes for precise fit and compression control.
- Optional self-adhesive backing for quick, clean installation without separate bonding agents.
- Excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, suitable for challenging thermal environments.
- Good resistance to weathering, ozone, and UV, supporting long-term outdoor use.
- Supplied as continuous strip for easy cutting, shaping, and custom fabrication on site.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable sealing performance helps reduce leaks, drafts, and ingress of dust or moisture, protecting sensitive equipment and components.
- Consistent 60° Shore hardness offers stable compression set, improving gasket life and reducing maintenance intervals.
- Wide range of thicknesses allows you to optimise contact pressure and fit without over-compressing mating surfaces.
- Self-adhesive option speeds up installation, minimises downtime, and delivers a neat, professional finish with minimal tools.
- Excellent resistance to ageing, UV, and ozone maintains flexibility and integrity over time, even in outdoor or exposed locations.
- Easy to cut and shape on site, enabling custom solutions for one-off projects, retrofits, and repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut the silicone rubber strip to custom lengths and shapes?
Yes, the silicone rubber strip can be easily cut to size using a sharp knife or suitable cutting tool. For best results, use a straight edge and a clean, flat surface to ensure accurate, tidy cuts for your gaskets or seals.
Is the adhesive backing strong enough for long-term industrial use?
The optional self-adhesive backing is designed to provide a reliable bond to clean, dry, and smooth surfaces under typical industrial conditions. In high-stress or high-temperature applications, it is advisable to test on site and, if necessary, use additional mechanical fixing or compatible adhesive for extra security.
Which thickness of silicone strip should I choose for my sealing application?
The ideal thickness depends on the gap you need to seal and the compression you can apply. Thinner strips such as 2.5 mm or 3 mm suit smaller gaps and lighter closing forces, while thicker options like 4 mm to 6 mm and above are better for larger gaps or where more cushioning is required. Allow for sufficient compression to form an effective seal without overloading hinges or fasteners.
