Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable sealing performance: 60° Shore hardness offers a firm yet compliant seal to reduce air, dust, moisture and draught ingress.
- High-temperature capability: Silicone formulation maintains its properties in elevated temperatures, reducing failures and replacement intervals.
- Food-safe material: FDA compliant construction supports use in food contact and clean-processing applications where hygiene is critical.
- Versatile sizing options: Multiple widths and thicknesses make it easy to match existing grooves, frames and equipment tolerances.
- Chemical and weather resistance: Silicone resists many oils, cleaning chemicals, ozone and UV, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
- Simple installation and customisation: Can be quickly cut and shaped on-site, helping reduce lead times for bespoke seals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this silicone rubber strip be used in direct contact with food?
Yes, the strip is made from FDA compliant silicone, making it suitable for applications where it may come into direct contact with food, provided it is used and maintained in accordance with relevant hygiene and safety guidelines.
How is the strip fixed in place without adhesive backing?
The strip can be installed using mechanical methods such as clamping channels, retaining profiles, fasteners, or by compressing it into a suitably sized groove. In some cases, compatible silicone sealants or bonding agents may also be used, depending on the substrate and operating conditions.
Can I cut the silicone strip to custom lengths and shapes on site?
Yes, the silicone strip can be easily cut to length using a sharp knife or scissors, and can be trimmed, punched or shaped to form bespoke gaskets and pads, allowing you to adapt it to specific equipment and sealing requirements.
