Linex 400081967 Flexible Silicone Ruler, 200 mm, Blue

The Linex 200 mm flexible silicone ruler is a versatile and durable tool designed for accurate measurements and precise drawing tasks. Crafted from high-quality, flexible silicone, this ruler offers a unique combination of durability and adaptability, making it an essential addition to any stationery collection. Its vibrant blue color and non-slip surface provide excellent grip and visibility, ensuring that your work remains steady and accurate during use.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this silicone ruler is its exceptional flexibility, which allows it to bend without breaking or losing its shape. This makes it perfect for measuring or drawing lines on both flat surfaces and curved objects where rigid rulers would fail. The non-slip nature of the material ensures that the ruler stays firmly in place during use, reducing the risk of accidental slips and smudges. Furthermore, its robust construction ensures long-term reliability, as it is resistant to snapping and daily wear and tear.

Suitable for

• Drawing and measuring on curved surfaces
• School projects and geometry assignments
• Artistic sketching and technical drafting
• Office tasks requiring precise measurements

When it may not be suitable

This ruler may not be ideal for tasks requiring extremely rigid edges for cutting with sharp blades, as the flexible material might shift under pressure. Additionally, it is not recommended for high-precision engineering tasks that require metal-grade rigidity for absolute straight-line stability over long distances.

Key specifications

• Length: 200 mm
• Thickness: 2 mm
• Material: Flexible silicone
• Color: Blue
• Measurement units: Millimeters

How to use

To use the ruler, simply place it on the surface you wish to measure or draw upon. Because of its flexible nature, you can press it against curved objects to follow their contour. Align the zero mark with your starting point and use a pencil or pen to mark your measurements or draw your lines along the edge. After use, the ruler can be easily wiped clean and stored flat or rolled up due to its pliable material.

What to consider before purchase

• Check if the 200 mm length is sufficient for your specific projects
• Consider the flexible nature if you require a rigid edge for cutting
• Ensure the silicone material meets your preference for tactile grip

Usage recommendations

For best results, store the ruler in a flat position when not in use to maintain its original shape over extended periods. Avoid exposing the silicone to extreme heat or sharp cutting tools to preserve the integrity of the measurement markings.
