Natural Rubber Insertion Strip is a convenient option for anyone looking for a versatile rubber already cut into strip/tape form. Slit from our Natural Insertion Rubber Sheet, Rubber Insertion Strips are very economical and have good all-round performance characteristics.

This page lists all of our standard sizes on 4.5mm Thick Insertion Rubber Strips. We also sell 1.5mm, 3mm and 6mm online. Links to these are at the bottom of this page.

These flexible rubber strips have good tensile strength, abrasion resistance and resistance to tearing. They are ideal for creating wear resistant strips, lining and protecting strips and sealing around metal sheeting, joinery and woodwork. They withstand exposure to temperatures up to 70°C.

Natural Rubber Insertion Strip is not suggested for use in sealing oils, petroleum or hydrocarbons. For these applications, our Neoprene Rubber Strip may be more suitable.

What glue should I use to stick it down?

Great question. It depends a little on what surface area we’re talking about. If it’s small and really high strength adhesion is required, a super glue such that is compatible with rubber such as our Weicon VA 8406 or VA 100 could be ideal. For larger areas, a spray on or contact adhesive may be the answer.

We keep saying may for a reason though. It all depends on what you need to stick it to and things like temperature, desired cure time and so forth. There’s a really great tool called the Weicon Adhesive Finder (www.adhesive-finder.com) that may be able to assist though, of course, failing that don’t hesitate to let us know what you’re trying to achieve as we may be able to assist.

Does it come with an adhesive backing?

Not as standard no. That said, it can be arranged on special request.

Are other colours available?

Not of this particular grade we’re sorry.

Will you supply my order in one continuous length or multiple lengths?

We’ll always supply in as long a roll as possible to give you maximum versatility (nothing worse than being just a little too short). Maximum roll length for all thicknesses listed here is 10 metres so if you ordered 8 of one size, it would be supplied in a single roll.
