Description
This premium silicone rubber strip is a high-performance, medium-hardness sealing and gasketing material, manufactured at 60° Shore A for reliable, long-term resilience. Supplied in a choice of widths and thicknesses, it is ideal for creating custom strips, gaskets and seals where durability, flexibility and temperature resistance are essential.
Widely used across industrial, engineering, food processing and general maintenance environments, this silicone strip performs dependably in demanding conditions, including exposure to temperature extremes, moisture and many chemicals. Selected variants are available with an adhesive backing for fast, clean installation onto a wide range of substrates.
Product Features
- Manufactured from high-quality silicone rubber with a medium hardness rating of 60° Shore A for balanced strength and flexibility.
- Available in a range of standard widths including 55 mm, 60 mm, 65 mm, 70 mm, 75 mm and additional wider options to suit varied sealing and gasketing requirements.
- Offered in multiple thicknesses such as 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm and further intermediate gauges for precise application matching.
- Optional self-adhesive backing on selected variants for quick, secure positioning without separate bonding agents or mechanical fixings.
- Excellent resistance to temperature extremes, ozone, UV and weathering, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
- Good chemical and moisture resistance for use in washdown areas, process lines and other harsh operating conditions.
- Supplied as continuous strip for cutting to length, punching or profiling to create custom seals and components.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable sealing performance: 60° Shore hardness provides a firm yet compliant seal that helps minimise leakage, vibration and noise.
- Extended service life: Silicone’s inherent resistance to ageing, cracking and hardening supports long-term, low-maintenance use.
- Flexible installation options: Wide choice of widths and thicknesses, with or without adhesive backing, allows easy integration into new builds or retrofits.
- Stable across temperature changes: Retains its properties over a broad temperature range, helping maintain consistent performance in hot or cold environments.
- Easy to fabricate: Can be cut, trimmed and punched using standard workshop tools to create bespoke strips, pads and gaskets.
- Clean and inert material: Low taint and non-corrosive characteristics make it suitable for sensitive equipment and many process applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut the silicone rubber strip to custom lengths and shapes?
Yes, the strip is designed to be easily cut and trimmed using suitable tools such as a sharp knife, shears or cutting press. It can also be punched or profiled to create bespoke gaskets, pads and seals.
Is the adhesive-backed version strong enough for permanent installation?
The adhesive backing provides a strong initial bond suitable for most general installations when applied to clean, dry, grease-free surfaces. For highly demanding or critical applications, additional mechanical fixing or a dedicated adhesive may be advisable.
Is this silicone strip suitable for outdoor and high-temperature environments?
Silicone rubber offers excellent resistance to UV, ozone and weathering, and maintains its properties over a wide temperature range, making it well-suited to many outdoor and elevated-temperature uses. Always check the specific operating conditions against the material’s typical performance range before final selection.
