Perfect Fit for 16mm Thick Panels: This top seal is crafted to fit seamlessly onto a 16mm thick panel edge, offering an easy and secure installation. The 17mm diameter sponge sealing bulb ensures an efficient seal that effectively prevents the entry of water, dust, and other unwanted particles.

This design ensures that the seal holds firmly in place without the need for additional adhesives or fasteners, simplifying installation and reducing time spent on setup. It provides a robust and long-lasting grip, maintaining its shape even under stress, yet it can be easily removed and reused if needed.
Reusable and Impact-Resistant: The Self Grip Top Seal is not only easy to install but also built to withstand impact and pressure. This makes it a versatile option for a variety of environments where durability and reliability are key. It’s an ideal solution for both temporary and long-term sealing needs.
Simple Installation: Installing this seal is a breeze. Simply tap it into place on the edge of the panel using your hand or a soft-faced hammer. The self-gripping design ensures that the seal stays put as soon as it’s applied, with no additional effort required to secure it.
Materials and Durability
This product is crafted from high-quality PVC and expanded EPDM rubber, two materials known for their durability and resistance to wear. These compounds provide excellent protection against environmental factors such as UV rays, ozone, air exposure, and many chemicals. The materials are perfect for applications in marine, automotive, and industrial sectors, where exposure to harsh conditions is common.
While the Self Grip Top Seal is designed to resist most substances, it is important to note that it is not recommended for environments where the seal might come into contact with oil or fuel, as these substances may degrade the materials.
Performance in Extreme Temperatures
The Self Grip Top Seal is built to perform in a wide range of temperatures. Its average operating temperature range is between -10°C and +60°C, making it suitable for both colder and warmer climates. Whether you need it for outdoor marine applications or for sealing in temperature-controlled environments, this seal will maintain its integrity across a variety of conditions.
Applications
This versatile edge trim with top seal is commonly used in a wide range of industries, including:
Marine: To create watertight seals around doors, windows, and hatches, ensuring water does not penetrate valuable equipment or living spaces.
Automotive: Ideal for sealing enclosures, lockers, and other automotive parts that require impact resistance and flexibility.
Industrial: Used in cabinets, enclosures, and machinery where a reliable seal is needed to prevent contaminants and ensure efficiency.
How to Use
To create a proper seal, it’s recommended to compress the sponge bulb by approximately 30%. This will ensure that the bulb forms a tight seal, while also preventing compression set, a condition where the material permanently deforms after prolonged compression. By following this simple guideline, you’ll maximize the effectiveness of your seal and prolong the product’s lifespan.
Packaging and Availability
