Frequently Asked Questions
Is the silicone rubber strip suitable for use in high-temperature environments?
Yes, silicone rubber is known for its excellent temperature resistance and typically performs well in both high and low temperature conditions. Always check the specific temperature range required for your application against the product data to ensure suitability.
Can I cut the silicone strip to custom lengths and shapes?
Yes, the strip can be cut to size using appropriate tools such as a sharp knife, shears or a suitable cutting blade. For best results, ensure a clean, straight cut to maintain an effective seal.
How does the adhesive-backed option adhere to surfaces?
The adhesive-backed version is supplied with a pressure-sensitive adhesive on one side, protected by a removable liner. The bonding surface should be clean, dry and free from dust or grease before application to achieve a strong, reliable bond.
