Description
This premium silicone rubber strip is a versatile sealing and cushioning material designed for demanding environments where durability, flexibility and a clean appearance are essential. Manufactured from high-quality translucent silicone with a Shore A hardness of 60°, it offers a reliable balance between firmness and elasticity, making it suitable for precision sealing, spacing and protection tasks.
Ideal for use in industrial, engineering, electrical and general maintenance applications, this silicone strip performs consistently across a wide temperature range and in challenging conditions. Available in a selection of widths from 40 mm to 60 mm and beyond, and thicknesses from ultra-fine 0.3 mm up to 10 mm and thicker, it can be cut, punched or shaped to suit gaskets, edge trims, vibration pads and many other custom uses.
Product Features
- Premium translucent silicone rubber strip with 60° Shore A hardness for a firm yet flexible profile.
- Available widths include 40 mm, 45 mm, 50 mm, 55 mm, 60 mm and additional wider options to suit varied sealing runs.
- Offered in a wide range of thicknesses, including 0.3 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm and several intermediate sizes for precise fit and performance.
- Translucent material for a clean, discreet appearance in visible installations or where inspection of underlying components is beneficial.
- Non-adhesive backing as standard, allowing the strip to be mechanically fixed, clamped or bonded with a suitable adhesive of your choice.
- Excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, UV exposure and many common fluids compared with standard rubber materials.
- Can be easily cut, punched or fabricated to create custom gaskets, pads, spacers and protective trims.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable sealing performance: 60° Shore A hardness provides an effective seal under compression while maintaining flexibility for repeated use.
- Wide temperature capability: Silicone construction remains stable across high and low temperatures, helping maintain performance in indoor and outdoor environments.
- Durable and long-lasting: Resistant to cracking, hardening and degradation from UV and ozone exposure, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
- Versatile sizing options: Multiple width and thickness variants allow you to select the exact dimensions needed, minimising waste and improving installation speed.
- Non-marking and clean appearance: Translucent finish integrates neatly into equipment, enclosures and architectural details without drawing attention.
- Easy to handle and fabricate: Can be cut with standard tools and fitted using mechanical fixings or appropriate adhesives for quick on-site customisation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this silicone strip be used outdoors and in high-temperature environments?
Yes, silicone rubber is known for its excellent resistance to weathering, UV and ozone, and for maintaining flexibility over a wide temperature range. This makes the strip suitable for many outdoor and higher-temperature applications, provided it is used within the typical operating limits of silicone rubber and in accordance with your specific project requirements.
How can I fix the non-adhesive silicone strip in place?
The strip can be installed using mechanical methods such as clamping, bolting, channel mounting or compression within a groove. Alternatively, it may be bonded using a suitable adhesive or sealant compatible with silicone and the mating surface. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer’s guidance for surface preparation and curing times.
Can I cut the silicone strip to custom lengths and shapes?
Yes, the silicone strip can be easily cut to length and shaped using appropriate tools such as a sharp knife, scissors for thinner gauges, or cutting and punching tools for more precise profiles. Take care to cut on a stable surface and measure accurately to achieve a clean, uniform finish.
