Key Features and Benefits
- Provides a reliable seal against air, dust and moisture, helping to improve performance and reduce maintenance in assemblies and enclosures.
- Medium hardness material compresses sufficiently for a tight fit while retaining shape, extending service life and reducing the need for frequent replacement.
- Adhesive-backed option reduces installation time and avoids additional fixings, especially useful on smooth metal, plastic or painted surfaces.
- Weather-resistant silicone construction maintains flexibility and integrity when exposed to sunlight, rain and temperature variations.
- Range of widths and thicknesses allows accurate selection to match grooves, flanges or gaps, minimising trimming and waste on site.
- Non-corrosive and inert material that is suitable for use alongside metals, plastics and many other construction materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut the silicone rubber strip to custom lengths?
Yes, the strip can be cut to length using a sharp knife or suitable cutting tool. For the best results, use a straight edge and make clean, even cuts to ensure a good seal when installed.
Is the adhesive-backed version suitable for outdoor use?
The adhesive backing is designed for general-purpose bonding and will perform well on clean, dry, smooth surfaces. For demanding or permanently wet outdoor conditions, additional mechanical fixing or a suitable sealant may be advisable.
How do I choose the right width and thickness for my application?
Measure the gap or surface area you need to seal or protect, then select a width that comfortably covers it with some margin. Choose a thickness that will compress slightly under load while maintaining contact; softer, thinner strips suit lighter sealing tasks, while thicker sections provide greater support and cushioning.
