Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut the silicone rubber strip to the exact length and shape I need?
Yes, the strip is supplied as a continuous length and can be cut to size using a sharp knife, scissors (for thinner sections), or a fine-toothed saw. This makes it easy to produce custom gaskets, seals, and spacers on site.
Does the strip have adhesive backing or do I need to use my own fixing method?
This product is supplied without adhesive backing. You can fix it in place using a suitable adhesive, mechanical fasteners, or by fitting the strip into a channel or groove as required by your application.
Is this 60° Shore red oxide silicone rubber suitable for outdoor or heavy-duty industrial use?
The 60° Shore silicone rubber strip is designed for robust industrial and commercial use and offers good resistance to compression and general wear. For specific environmental conditions such as prolonged UV exposure, extreme temperatures, or contact with particular chemicals, it is advisable to confirm suitability against your application requirements.
