Gasket Tape / Strip Gasket

What is gasket tape?

Stockwell Elastomerics 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.

Reinforced closed cell silicone sponge gasket tape. This unique medium firmness silicone sponge is made with an embedded fiberglass reinforcement which offers exceptional X & Y axis stability (no stretching during install). SNS 300AR has an unsupported (transfer) acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing. This gasket tape is good for applications where dimensional stability and higher tensile strength are required. Uses include water seals and dust seals, where the operating temperatures are not extreme. This long life silicone sponge gasket tape has excellent long term rebound and is UV resistant. The strong adhesive backing is well suited for bonding to high, medium and some low surface energy substrates.

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.

Need custom gasket tape? – Stockwell Elastomerics 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.
