Description
This professional silicone rubber strip is designed for long-lasting performance in demanding sealing, cushioning and insulating applications. Manufactured to a 60° Shore A hardness, it delivers an excellent balance of flexibility and strength, making it suitable for both light and medium-duty industrial use.
Available in a range of widths and thicknesses, with the option of a secure adhesive backing, this silicone strip is ideal for engineers, maintenance teams and installers working on machinery, enclosures, glazing, HVAC systems and general fabrication where reliable sealing and durability are essential.
Product Features
- Standard 60° Shore A hardness silicone rubber for a firm yet flexible sealing and cushioning performance.
- Multiple widths available, including 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 and 55 mm to suit different groove sizes and mounting surfaces.
- Wide choice of thicknesses from 0.5, 0.8, 1, 1.5 and 2 mm plus additional thicker options for heavier-duty requirements.
- Optional high-tack adhesive backing for quick peel-and-stick installation without mechanical fixings.
- Resilient silicone construction offers excellent temperature resistance and long-term dimensional stability.
- Good resistance to ageing, ozone and UV, making the strip suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.
- Can be easily cut to length with standard hand tools for custom-fit gaskets and strips.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable sealing performance helps reduce air, dust and moisture ingress around panels, doors and covers.
- 60° Shore hardness provides sufficient compression for sealing while retaining shape for repeated use and long service life.
- Adhesive-backed option speeds up installation, cuts labour time and avoids drilling or additional fasteners.
- Flexible silicone material accommodates slight surface irregularities, improving contact and sealing efficiency.
- Durable and resistant to environmental degradation, helping to minimise replacement frequency and maintenance costs.
- Easily customisable on-site, allowing you to create bespoke gaskets and strips to match non-standard dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut the silicone rubber strip to custom lengths and shapes?
Yes, the silicone strip can be easily cut with scissors, a sharp knife or a suitable cutting tool, allowing you to create custom lengths and simple gasket shapes for your specific application.
Is the adhesive backing strong enough for permanent installation?
The optional adhesive backing is designed to provide a strong, long-lasting bond to clean, dry, smooth surfaces. For demanding or high-load applications, it may be advisable to combine the adhesive with mechanical fixing where appropriate.
Is this silicone rubber strip suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the silicone material offers good resistance to UV, ozone and weathering, making it suitable for many outdoor applications, provided it is installed correctly and used within the recommended temperature and environmental conditions.
