Description

The EMS16 Red-Oxide Silicone Sponge Strip (Extruded) WITHOUT Adhesive Backing is a versatile and durable product designed to meet a variety of industrial and commercial sealing and insulation needs. Made from high-quality silicone material, this extruded sponge strip offers flexibility, resilience, and superior performance in a wide range of applications. With no adhesive backing, it allows for customized installation to fit specific requirements, providing an ideal solution for sealing, gasketing, and insulation tasks.

What Makes Red-Oxide Silicone Sponge Strip Unique?

The EMS16 Red-Oxide Silicone Sponge Strip is a flexible, lightweight material made from a special blend of silicone rubber. Its red-oxide color gives it a distinctive appearance and is often chosen for its association with high-performance sealing solutions. The extruded form of the sponge strip ensures consistent thickness and uniformity, providing a reliable and efficient sealing solution.

Unlike other sponge strips with adhesive backing, this version does not have a sticky surface, which offers greater flexibility in its application. It is particularly suited for users who prefer custom fitting and installation without being limited by pre-applied adhesives.

Key Features of EMS16 Red-Oxide Silicone Sponge Strip (Extruded) WITHOUT Adhesive Backing

  1. High-Quality Silicone Construction
    The silicone material used in the EMS16 Red-Oxide Sponge Strip is resistant to extreme temperatures, UV radiation, and weathering. It is durable and maintains its flexibility, ensuring a long-lasting solution in both indoor and outdoor environments.

  2. Flexible and Compressible
    The extruded design offers excellent compressibility, enabling the sponge strip to conform to irregular or uneven surfaces. This makes it highly effective for creating seals that are airtight and watertight.

  3. Non-Adhesive Backing
    Without adhesive backing, users can apply this strip in custom ways, allowing for easy removal, repositioning, and reusability. It also gives the user full control over the adhesive choice, enabling it to be bonded with specific adhesives as required.

  4. Color and Visibility
    The red-oxide color provides high visibility, which can be particularly useful in industrial settings where easy identification is important.

  5. FDA-Compliant (Food-Grade Options)
    The material is available in food-grade options, making it suitable for industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and medical applications.

Applications of EMS16 Red-Oxide Silicone Sponge Strip (Extruded) WITHOUT Adhesive Backing

This versatile sponge strip can be used in a variety of settings and industries where a durable, flexible, and custom sealing solution is required. Some of the most common applications include:

  • Gasketing and Sealing: Ideal for sealing doors, windows, machinery, and containers to prevent leakage of air, moisture, and gases.
  • Thermal Insulation: The strip provides an effective barrier against temperature changes and helps to insulate sensitive equipment or areas.
  • Soundproofing: Used in noise-sensitive environments, the silicone sponge can help reduce sound transmission between spaces.
  • Food and Pharmaceutical Processing: With its food-grade options, the Red-Oxide Silicone Sponge Strip is ideal for sealing processing equipment, maintaining hygiene and safety.
  • Medical Devices: Can be used for sealing medical equipment or as part of assemblies requiring high-quality, flexible materials.
  • Automotive: Often used for gaskets and seals in the automotive industry, where resistance to heat and wear is critical.
  • Construction and Manufacturing: Provides a durable solution for sealing and insulating windows, doors, and various construction joints.

Why Choose EMS16 Red-Oxide Silicone Sponge Strip (Extruded) WITHOUT Adhesive Backing?

  1. Custom Fit and Flexibility
    The lack of adhesive backing offers full control over installation. The strip can be cut to any length and applied as needed, giving users the flexibility to create perfect seals in unique applications.

  2. Easy to Apply and Remove
    Without the adhesive, the strip can be easily positioned, adjusted, or removed. If necessary, it can be bonded with a specific adhesive, which may be more suitable for the particular surface or environment in question.

  3. Durable and Long-Lasting
    Silicone is a highly durable material, and when extruded into a sponge strip, it offers excellent resilience. The Red-Oxide Silicone Sponge Strip resists compression set, ozone, and environmental degradation, making it a long-lasting sealing solution.

  4. Cost-Effective Solution
    With its customizable nature, the extruded silicone sponge strip reduces material waste, allowing you to cut it to the exact length needed for the job. This ensures a more cost-effective approach compared to pre-formed adhesive-backed products.

How to Use EMS16 Red-Oxide Silicone Sponge Strip (Extruded) WITHOUT Adhesive Backing

  1. Measure and Cut
    First, measure the area where the sponge strip will be applied. Use a sharp utility knife or scissors to cut the strip to the required length.

  2. Clean the Surface
    For optimal sealing, ensure that the surface where the strip will be placed is clean, dry, and free of dust or oil.

  3. Apply the Strip
    Position the strip on the surface, making sure it aligns correctly with the area that needs to be sealed. If desired, you can use an adhesive to secure it in place.

  4. Compress for Effective Sealing
    Apply pressure to compress the strip, ensuring that it forms a tight, effective seal that is both airtight and watertight.
