Description
This premium silicone rubber strip is a high-quality, medium-hardness sealing and cushioning material, manufactured to 60° Shore A for reliable performance. Designed for demanding environments, it combines excellent flexibility with stable mechanical properties, making it suitable for both static and dynamic applications.
Ideal for use in industrial, automotive, electrical and general engineering settings, this silicone strip can be used for seals, gaskets, edge protection and vibration damping. Available in a range of widths and thicknesses, with optional self-adhesive backing, it offers a versatile solution for custom cut strips and profiles.
Product Features
- Manufactured from high-quality 60° Shore A silicone rubber for balanced flexibility and durability.
- Available widths from 55 mm, 60 mm, 65 mm, 70 mm, 75 mm and several additional sizes to suit different projects.
- Range of thicknesses including 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm and further options for precise sealing or cushioning needs.
- Optional adhesive backing for easy peel-and-stick installation on clean, dry surfaces.
- Excellent resistance to temperature extremes compared with many standard rubber materials.
- Good resistance to weathering, ageing and ozone for both indoor and outdoor use.
- Supplied in continuous strip format, ready to cut to length on site.
Key Features and Benefits
- Consistent 60° Shore hardness provides a reliable balance of firmness and flexibility, helping to maintain effective seals under compression.
- Optional self-adhesive backing reduces installation time and the need for separate fixing methods, improving efficiency on site.
- Wide choice of widths and thicknesses allows you to match the strip closely to your groove, flange or gap dimensions, reducing material waste.
- Silicone composition offers stable performance across a broad temperature range, supporting use in both heated and chilled environments.
- Resistance to ageing and weathering helps maintain shape, elasticity and sealing performance over longer service life, reducing replacement frequency.
- Easy to cut and shape with standard tools, enabling quick customisation for one-off jobs and prototyping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut the silicone rubber strip to custom lengths and shapes?
Yes, the silicone rubber strip can be cut to length and shaped using standard tools such as a sharp knife, scissors (for thin sections) or a fine-toothed saw, depending on thickness. Always work on a stable surface and measure carefully for accurate sizing.
Is the adhesive-backed option strong enough for permanent fixing?
The adhesive backing is designed to provide a strong, reliable bond to clean, dry, smooth surfaces and is suitable for most long-term applications. For demanding or critical installations, ensure surfaces are thoroughly degreased and consider additional mechanical fixing if required by your application.
Can this silicone strip be used outdoors and in changing temperatures?
Yes, silicone rubber offers good resistance to weathering, ozone and ageing, and maintains its properties over a wide temperature range. This makes the strip suitable for many outdoor and temperature-variable environments, provided the specific service conditions are within typical silicone performance limits.
