Description
This premium silicone rubber strip is a high-performance sealing and gasketing solution designed for demanding industrial, commercial and specialist applications. Manufactured to a hardness of 60° Shore A, it offers an excellent balance of flexibility and resilience, making it suitable for precision seals, cushioning, and vibration control where long-term reliability is essential.
Engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and formulated for safe use in contact with food, this silicone strip is ideal for use in food processing equipment, ovens, autoclaves, enclosures and hygiene-critical environments. Supplied without adhesive backing, it is perfect for mechanically fixed, clamped or slotted installations where a clean, durable and stable seal is required.
Product Features
- Available widths from 10 mm to 40 mm, including 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 mm to suit a wide range of sealing grooves and flanges.
- Multiple thickness options starting from 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1 mm and 1.5 mm, plus additional thicker sizes for heavier-duty sealing applications.
- 60° Shore A medium hardness silicone providing a robust but still flexible strip for reliable compression and recovery.
- High-performance silicone formulation designed to operate in extreme temperature environments while maintaining elasticity.
- Suitable for use in applications involving food contact, supporting hygiene-focused and regulatory-sensitive processes.
- Supplied without adhesive backing for use in mechanically retained, clamped or channel-mounted installations.
- Excellent resistance to ageing, weathering, ozone and many cleaning chemicals, helping to extend service life.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable sealing performance: 60° Shore A hardness delivers consistent compression and sealing pressure, reducing the risk of leaks and product contamination.
- Wide temperature capability: silicone material maintains flexibility and resilience at high and low temperatures, making it suitable for ovens, freezers and thermal cycling.
- Food contact suitability: appropriate for use around food processing, catering and pharmaceutical equipment where material safety and cleanliness are critical.
- Dimensional versatility: broad choice of widths and thicknesses enables accurate matching to existing grooves, frames and channels, reducing the need for custom tooling.
- Long-lasting durability: excellent resistance to UV, ozone, moisture and many cleaning agents lowers maintenance requirements and replacement intervals.
- Installation flexibility: non-adhesive format allows easy adjustment, repositioning or replacement and accommodates a variety of mechanical fixing methods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this silicone rubber strip be used in direct contact with food products?
Yes, the strip is made from silicone suitable for use in applications involving food contact, making it appropriate for seals and gaskets around food processing and catering equipment. Always ensure that the specific installation and cleaning regime comply with your applicable regulations and standards.
How should the strip be fixed in place without adhesive backing?
The strip is designed for mechanical retention rather than self-adhesion. It can be installed into channels or grooves, clamped between mating surfaces, secured with fasteners or held under compression by frames and covers, depending on the equipment design.
Can the strip be cut to length on site?
Yes, the silicone rubber strip can be easily cut to the required length using a sharp knife or suitable cutting tool. For best results, ensure clean, square cuts and measure carefully to achieve an effective seal when joined or installed.
