Gasket Tape / Strip Gasket Technical Data

What is gasket tape? - Stockwell pre-manufactures master logs (e.g. 36" wide x 20' long rolls) of adhesive backed open cell foams and closed cell sponges. These master logs are ready to be slit-to-width (to customer's defined width), most materials offered can be slit from 1/4" (6.4mm) up to 34" (863mm) wide. This pre-manufacturing process allows for quick turns to meet short deadlines. The length of the gasket tape / strip gasket depends on the specific product (see charts below). Each product listed below offers a unique solution to gasketing and sealing requirements.

Strip-N-Stick 100S - Medium Firmness, Closed Cell Silicone Sponge with Silicone Adhesive
SNS 100S - Closed cell silicone sponge gasket tape. The base silicone sponge is Saint Gobain's medium firmness R-10470-M with an unsupported (transfer) silicone pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). SNS 100S gasket tape is good for water seals and dust seals (e.g. NEMA & IP), especially where there are wide operating temperatures. This silicone sponge gasket tape has excellent rebound, is UL listed for gasketing in lighting fixtures, and UV resistant. The Low/Medium strength adhesive backing is well suited for extreme temperatures. Silicone sponge is tougher than silicone foam.

What are the different adhesives? - Silicone based adhesives are most commonly specified when a gasketing application needs to meet a wide temperature range. Acrylic based adhesives have a tighter operating temperature range than silicone, they are available in a variety of bonding strengths and cost less than silicone adhesives. A supported (or double coated) structure indicates a thin layer of PET is embedded in the adhesive which gives the gasket tape some X and Y axis dimensional stability. An unsupported adhesive, also called a transfer adhesive, is a thin, "stretchy" adhesive backing offering no X or Y axis stability.

Custom gasket tape? - Stockwell also manufactures custom gasket tape. Choose one of the silicone foams or silicone sponges and combine with a stock adhesive to develop a custom combination that meets a unique design requirement. Note, custom gasket tape requires a minimum order. Small sample or test swatches are available for test bonding.

Die Cut or Waterjet Cut? - All of the gasket tape / strip tape materials listed above are readily available to be die cut or water jet cut to dimensional specifications. For more information on these and other materials see our Products page.
