Description
This premium silicone rubber strip in red oxide is a versatile sealing and gasketing solution designed for demanding industrial environments. Manufactured to a hardness of 60° Shore A, it delivers an excellent balance of flexibility and resilience, making it suitable for long-term use in applications where consistent compression and recovery are essential.
Ideal for use in engineering, automotive, HVAC and general maintenance settings, this silicone strip provides reliable performance across a wide temperature range and resists ageing, weathering and many chemicals. Available in multiple widths and thicknesses, with an optional self-adhesive backing, it can be tailored to suit everything from light-duty seals to more robust cushioning and vibration-damping tasks.
Product Features
- Premium red oxide silicone rubber strip with 60° Shore A hardness for balanced strength and flexibility.
- Available widths from 20 mm to 55 mm, including 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 and 55 mm options for versatile sizing.
- Range of thicknesses starting from 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm and 2 mm, plus additional thicker options to suit different sealing demands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut the silicone rubber strip to custom lengths and shapes?
Yes, the strip can be easily cut to length and shaped using a sharp knife or scissors. For clean, precise edges, use a straight edge and a suitable cutting mat or surface.
Is the adhesive backing strong enough for vertical or overhead installations?
The optional self-adhesive backing is designed to provide a secure bond to clean, dry, non-porous surfaces and is generally suitable for vertical applications. For overhead or high-stress installations, additional mechanical fixing or a separate adhesive may be advisable.
Is this silicone rubber strip suitable for outdoor use?
The silicone material offers good resistance to ageing, ozone and weathering, making it suitable for many outdoor or semi-exposed applications. However, overall performance will depend on the specific environment and exposure conditions, so it is recommended to assess suitability for particularly harsh or continuously exposed locations.
