Silicone Rubber Strip
At Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd (ASG), we manufacture high-quality silicone rubber strips in both solid and sponge forms. Using state-of-the-art machinery and precise in-house processes, we produce custom-made silicone strips to meet the exact specifications of our customers.
Silicone rubber strips are just one of thousands of products we manufacture. All strips are made to order, using band saws, strippers, log cutters, or presses, depending on the size, thickness, and quantity required. For high-volume runs of small strips, a kiss-cutting option is available to optimise production efficiency and turnaround times.
With complete in-house production, we closely monitor the entire manufacturing process, ensuring every silicone strip meets high-quality standards and competitive pricing. We stock a range of silicone rubbers in multiple thicknesses, allowing rapid production and flexible options including laminated finishes, self-adhesive coatings, or customised layers.

What is a Silicone Rubber Strip?
A silicone rubber strip is a versatile sealing and insulation solution, widely used in industries requiring high-performance mechanical, thermal, or electrical properties. Strips are precision-cut to specific widths and lengths, and can also be supplied as continuous rolls to be trimmed on-site.
Silicone strips are commonly used as gaskets, seals, cushioning strips, and insulation components, providing excellent protection and performance under extreme conditions. They are ideal for creating a tight seal between uneven surfaces, reducing vibration, insulating components, or preventing moisture, dust, and chemical ingress.
Why Use Silicone Rubber Strips?
Silicone rubber strips are selected for applications that require a combination of flexibility, durability, and high-performance resistance. Key benefits include:
- Broad operating temperature range (-40°C to +200°C, with high-temperature grades available up to 300°C)
- UV, ozone, weather, and chemical resistance
- Fungal growth and water resistance
- High tensile strength and tear resistance
- Electrical insulating properties
- Available in custom thicknesses, hardnesses, and grades, including food-safe and flame-retardant types
These properties make silicone rubber strips suitable for automotive, construction, marine, food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications, where reliable sealing and durability are critical.
