Self adhesive rubber strips

Self adhesive rubber strips

Self adhesive rubber strips in neoprene, nominally 25mm (W) x 1.5mm (T) x 300cm (L), featuring a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing. This solid rubber sealing strip provides resilient compression sealing, vibration damping and abrasion resistance for gaskets, edge protection and general sealing applications. The neoprene compound offers good weathering and moderate chemical resistance while the adhesive backing ensures secure bonding to metal, plastic and painted substrates.

Available in multiple types and sizes to suit sealing, padding and isolation tasks; strips can be cut to length or supplied as rolls. For material selection or application-specific guidance contact our technical team. See the cellular and foam rubber collection for related products.

We can supply Self adhesive rubber strips in virtually any design and specification.

Custom production is possible based on technical drawings, material requirements, or performance criteria.

Self adhesive rubber strips — product overview

Self adhesive rubber strips are narrow, flexible sealing and protection elements supplied with a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing for direct application to prepared substrates. They are commonly used in widths and thicknesses tailored to specific sealing, padding or edge protection tasks; sizes can range from thin gasket tapes to thicker bumpers and mounting pads. Materials such as neoprene or other elastomers are used where resilience, compressibility and basic environmental resistance are required. Lengths and roll formats are typical packaging options, and dimensional information can be requested to match project requirements.

Applications, material options and technical advice

These strips are applied where straightforward adhesion and a conformable rubber layer are needed: sealing small gaps, dampening vibration, protecting edges, or fabricating simple DIY gaskets and pads in marine, transport, construction and industrial settings. For applications needing more compressible cellular structure, consider complementary products in our cellular and foam rubber range. Material selection depends on exposure conditions, surface preparation and mechanical loading; technical drawings, cut-to-length options and compatibility checks can be discussed on request. RuplaTec supplies technical rubber and plastic products for industrial and marine use — contact our team for product advice or specification support to determine if a particular self adhesive rubber strip suits your application.

FAQ

What are self adhesive rubber strips and where are they typically used?

Self adhesive rubber strips are rubber profiles supplied with a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing intended for attachment to clean, dry substrates. They are used for sealing, gasketing, vibration damping, edge protection, and insulation in industrial, commercial and maintenance contexts. Materials and adhesive types vary to suit specific operational environments. Selection should be based on substrate compatibility and service conditions; for technical guidance on material choice and available formats, contact our team for advice.

How should I prepare surfaces and install self adhesive rubber strips for effective adhesion?

Prepare the mounting surface by removing dust, oils and loose contaminants; ensure the surface is dry and structurally sound. Apply the self adhesive rubber strip with uniform pressure along its length to promote contact between adhesive and substrate. For uneven or porous surfaces consider a compatible primer or backer material. Avoid applying to surfaces that are wet, frozen or heavily contaminated. For product-specific surface preparation, adhesive compatibility or recommended application procedures, contact our team for advice and technical support.

What rubber materials and adhesive types are available for self adhesive rubber strips, and how do I choose?

Self adhesive rubber strips are offered in a range of elastomer materials (for example neoprene, EPDM and silicone) and with different adhesive chemistries. Material selection should consider operating temperature range, exposure to oils, fuels or chemicals, UV and ozone resistance, and required flexibility or hardness. Adhesive choice affects bond strength and substrate compatibility. Review technical datasheets for specific performance criteria and consult our team for assistance matching material and adhesive properties to your application requirements.

How can self adhesive rubber strips be cut, removed and maintained?

Self adhesive rubber strips can be trimmed and shaped on-site using knives, shears or routing tools appropriate to the material. When removing strips, apply steady mechanical force; heat or a compatible solvent may assist adhesive softening but test solvents on an inconspicuous area first to avoid substrate damage. Clean remaining residue with a solvent compatible with the substrate and rubber material. For maintenance, inspect seals regularly for wear, displacement or adhesive failure.
