It is made from EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) closed-cell sponge rubber — a material well regarded for its excellent resistance to UV light, ozone, and outdoor weathering.
The strip has a factory-applied pressure-sensitive adhesive on one face, protected by a removable yellow or white backing paper. Peel the paper away and press firmly onto a clean, dry, grease-free surface for an immediate bond.
The strip is available in ten widths — 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm — all at a fixed thickness of 6mm and supplied in 10-metre rolls.
Yes. The EPDM composition provides excellent resistance to UV radiation, ozone, and weathering, making it well suited to outdoor sealing and draught-exclusion applications.
This strip performs reliably between −40°C and +70°C, covering the full range of typical UK outdoor and light industrial conditions.
Yes — it is commonly used in caravans, motorhomes, boats, vans, trucks, and trailers for sealing, cushioning, and vibration damping. It is not recommended for areas with direct exposure to petrol or solvents.
