Key Features and Benefits
- Balanced hardness at 60° Shore provides a firm yet compliant seal, helping to minimise leaks, rattles, and vibration.
- Wide size range in both width and thickness allows you to select a strip that closely matches your specific design or retrofit needs, reducing waste and trimming time.
- Adhesive-backed variants simplify installation by eliminating the need for separate fixings, improving fitting speed and appearance.
- Silicone construction offers long service life thanks to excellent resistance to ageing, cracking, and environmental exposure.
- Stable performance over a wide temperature range supports use in equipment, enclosures, and ducting subject to heat or cold.
- Non-corrosive and non-staining material helps protect adjoining surfaces and maintains a clean, professional finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut the silicone rubber strip to custom lengths myself?
Yes, the strip can be easily cut to length using sharp scissors, a craft knife, or a suitable cutting tool. For the cleanest edge, use a straight edge or guide and ensure the blade is sharp.
Is the adhesive backing strong enough for long-term use?
The self-adhesive backing is designed to provide a reliable bond to clean, dry, smooth surfaces such as painted metal, plastics, and glass. For best results, thoroughly degrease the surface before application and apply firm pressure along the strip. In high-stress or outdoor applications, additional mechanical fixing may be advisable.
Is this silicone strip suitable for outdoor or high-temperature environments?
Silicone rubber offers very good resistance to UV, ozone, and weathering, making it suitable for many outdoor uses. It also performs well across a wide temperature range, so it is often used around equipment, enclosures, and ducting exposed to heat or cold. Always check that the specific grade and thickness meet the temperature and environmental demands of your application.
