Frequently Asked Questions
Can this silicone rubber strip be used in high-temperature applications?
Yes, silicone rubber is well known for its temperature resistance and is suitable for many high-temperature environments. However, always check the specific operating temperature range and ensure it matches your application’s requirements before use.
How can I fix the strip in place if it does not have adhesive backing?
The strip can be secured using mechanical methods such as clamping, bolting or slotting into channels. It can also be bonded with a suitable adhesive or sealant that is compatible with silicone and the substrate material.
Can I cut the silicone strip to custom lengths and shapes?
Yes, the strip can be cut to size using sharp knives, scissors or appropriate cutting tools. For more intricate shapes or holes, it can be punched or die-cut, allowing you to create bespoke gaskets, pads or seals.
