Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut the silicone rubber strip to the exact length and shape I need?
Yes, the strip can be trimmed to length and shaped on site using a sharp knife or scissors, allowing you to create custom gaskets, seals and pads to suit your installation.
Is the adhesive backing strong enough for permanent fixing?
The optional adhesive backing is designed to provide a strong, long‑lasting bond to clean, dry, non‑porous surfaces. For demanding or structural applications, additional mechanical fixings or specialist adhesives may be required.
Is this silicone rubber strip suitable for outdoor and high‑temperature environments?
Yes, silicone rubber offers excellent resistance to UV, ozone, weathering and elevated temperatures, making it suitable for many outdoor and high‑temperature applications within the typical operating range of silicone materials.
