Description
This premium silicone rubber strip is a high-performance sealing and gasketing material designed for demanding environments where consistent performance at extreme temperatures is critical. Manufactured at 60° Shore A hardness, it offers an excellent balance of flexibility and resilience, making it ideal for long-term sealing, cushioning and vibration-damping applications.
Supplied in a distinctive red oxide colour for easy identification, this silicone strip is widely used in industrial, automotive, food processing, HVAC and electrical installations. Available in a choice of widths from 10 mm to 40 mm and a range of thin-gauge thicknesses from 0.3 mm up to 1.5 mm (with additional thicknesses available), it can be easily cut to length on site for custom seals, spacers and insulation strips. Supplied without adhesive backing for maximum versatility with mechanical fastening or user-selected adhesives.
Product Features
- Red oxide silicone rubber strip with 60° Shore A hardness for firm yet flexible sealing.
- Available widths: 10 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm and 40 mm to suit a wide range of groove sizes and layouts.
- Thin-gauge thickness options from 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1 mm and 1.5 mm, plus additional thicknesses for more demanding sealing requirements.
- Supplied without adhesive backing, allowing use with mechanical fixings, clamping systems or specialist adhesives.
- High-temperature silicone formulation suitable for extreme temperature sealing and insulation duties.
- Good resistance to weathering, ozone and UV exposure for reliable performance in indoor and outdoor environments.
- Easy to cut, punch and shape on site for custom gaskets, washers and bespoke strip seals.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable high-temperature performance helps maintain an effective seal in applications exposed to elevated or fluctuating temperatures.
- 60° Shore A hardness provides a robust, non-spongy seal that resists deformation under compression while still accommodating minor tolerances.
- Range of widths and thicknesses allows accurate sizing to minimise material waste and achieve a precise fit in channels, flanges and frames.
- Non-adhesive backing gives full flexibility to choose the most suitable fixing method for the application and substrate.
- Durable silicone material resists ageing, cracking and hardening, reducing maintenance intervals and replacement costs.
- Easy handling and simple cutting enable quick on-site fabrication of custom seals without the need for specialist equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this silicone rubber strip be used for continuous high-temperature applications?
The strip is formulated for extreme temperature sealing and is suitable for many high-temperature environments. However, exact continuous operating temperature limits can vary by application, so it is recommended to consult technical guidance or carry out trials to confirm suitability for your specific conditions.
How can I fix the silicone strip in place if it has no adhesive backing?
The plain backing allows you to choose the most appropriate fixing method, such as clamping in a channel, using mechanical fasteners, or bonding with a compatible high-temperature adhesive or sealant. Surface preparation and adhesive selection should follow the adhesive manufacturer’s recommendations.
Can the strip be easily cut to custom lengths and shapes?
Yes, the silicone rubber strip can be cut to length with a sharp knife, scissors or a suitable cutting tool. It can also be punched or die-cut to create washers and gaskets, making it straightforward to produce custom seals on site.
