Description
This high-performance silicone rubber strip is a versatile, durable sealing and gasketing material designed for demanding environments. Manufactured to a 60° Shore A hardness, it offers an excellent balance of flexibility and resilience, making it ideal for repeated compression, vibration damping and long-term sealing duties.
Supplied in a distinctive blue colour, this silicone strip is widely used across industrial, engineering, food, pharmaceutical and general maintenance applications. It is available in a selection of widths and thicknesses to suit your project, with optional self-adhesive backing for quick, clean installation onto metal, plastic or painted surfaces.
Product Features
- Available widths include 95 mm and 100 mm for common sealing and gasketing requirements.
- Offered in a range of thicknesses including 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm and additional options to suit varied compression and spacing needs.
- 60° Shore A hardness provides a medium-firm silicone strip with good compression set resistance and long service life.
- Optional adhesive backing for easy peel-and-stick installation on clean, dry substrates.
- Manufactured in a durable blue silicone rubber for clear visual identification and inspection.
- High-performance silicone formulation suitable for use in challenging industrial and engineering environments.
Key Features and Benefits
- Consistent 60° Shore hardness gives reliable sealing performance under repeated compression and vibration.
- Multiple width and thickness options allow you to match the strip size precisely to your existing grooves, flanges or frames.
- Self-adhesive backing option reduces installation time, eliminating the need for separate adhesives or mechanical fixings in many applications.
- Durable silicone construction offers excellent ageing characteristics, helping to maintain flexibility and seal integrity over time.
- Blue colouring improves visibility during installation and maintenance, making it easy to check alignment and wear.
- Versatile material suitable for cutting, punching and trimming to create custom gaskets, pads and seals on-site.

Applications and Ideal Uses
This high-performance silicone rubber strip is suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial uses where a durable, medium-firm sealing or cushioning material is required.
- General sealing and gasketing around panels, enclosures, hatches and access doors.
- Vibration damping and cushioning between metal components, brackets and frames.
- Weatherstripping and draught sealing in machinery guards and cabinets.
- Custom-cut pads, spacers and protective strips for equipment and assemblies.
- Maintenance and repair tasks where on-site fabricated silicone gaskets are needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut the silicone rubber strip to custom lengths and shapes?
Yes, the silicone strip can be cut to length and shaped using a sharp knife, scissors or a suitable cutting tool. For more precise gaskets or intricate shapes, a straight edge and marked guidelines are recommended.
Is the adhesive backing strong enough for permanent installation?
The optional self-adhesive backing is designed to provide a strong, reliable bond to clean, dry, smooth surfaces. For permanent or heavy-duty applications, ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and pressed firmly during installation; additional mechanical fixing may be used if required.
Which thickness should I choose for my sealing application?
The best thickness depends on the gap you need to seal and the level of compression available. Thinner strips (such as 2.5 mm or 3 mm) suit smaller gaps or limited compression, while thicker strips (such as 4 mm, 5 mm or 6 mm) are better where larger gaps exist or more cushioning is needed.
