Frequently Asked Questions
Can this silicone rubber strip be used outdoors?
Yes. The silicone material offers good resistance to UV, ozone and weathering, making it suitable for outdoor use as well as indoor environments, provided it is correctly installed and mechanically retained.
How do I fix the strip in place if it has no adhesive backing?
The non-adhesive strip can be fixed using mechanical methods such as clamping, bolting, channelling or compression in a groove. It can also be bonded using a suitable silicone or compatible adhesive selected for your substrate and operating conditions.
Can I cut the strip to custom lengths and shapes?
Yes. The strip can be easily cut to length with a sharp knife or shears, and can be punched or shaped with appropriate tooling to create custom seals, gaskets or pads.
