silicone rubber strip
Translate the application into purchase requirements for silicone rubber strip. This page does not promise a sealed joint or an installed result.
Name the duty in buying language: continuous temperature in °F or °C, medium (air, water, oil, cleaning chemistry), compression or wipe, indoor or outdoor, and whether food-contact or medical files are requested. A photo of a door or lid is a starting point, not a specification.
Shore A is a question for the quoted silicone rubber strip, not a published number on this site. Write the range the receiving plant will accept. If the factory proposes a different hardness, treat that as a new request. Do not mix Shore A with Shore D on the same line.
Measure groove or landing width, available compression, and the mating surface (painted steel, glass, powder-coated aluminium). Thickness in inches or millimetres and the cross-section belong next to those measurements. Colour and FDA or USP language stay off the quote unless a named file is requested for a named lot.
Oven-adjacent lids, laboratory enclosures and outdoor lighting gaskets often arrive as silicone rubber strip searches. Each still needs the same axes. EPDM weather strip is a different compound request, not a silent substitution.
Trade-off the buyer still decides: silicone is usually asked when the duty is a wide temperature window or a food-contact file; EPDM is usually asked for outdoor ozone and weather; FKM is asked when oils and fuels sit on the line. This desk does not pick a winner. Write the medium, temperature in °F or °C, and the file the receiving plant will accept. Compression set (ASTM D395) and tensile figures stay as plant answers, not site-owned ratings.
