Key Features and Specifications
Panel Thickness: Suitable for panels ranging from 1.5mm to 3mm thick.
Diameter: The sealing bulb has a diameter of 11mm, providing excellent coverage for effective sealing.
Coil Length: Available in a 50-meter coil, sold per metre, making it easy to purchase the exact length you need for your project.
Material: Made from high-quality EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), a durable rubber compound known for its resistance to various substances, including most chemicals, UV light, air, and ozone.
Reliable and Easy to Use
One of the standout features of the Self Grip Top Seal is its self-gripping metal spine, which holds the seal in place without the need for additional adhesives. This unique design ensures that the edge trim remains securely in position while maintaining its shape and strength even under impact.
This makes installation quick and easy—simply tap the seal onto the edge using your hand or a soft-faced hammer, and it will stay in place. The self-gripping feature means that the product can be removed and reused multiple times without losing its effectiveness, offering great value for your money.
Creating a Secure Seal
To ensure optimal performance, it’s recommended that the sponge bulb is compressed by about 30%. This compression creates a tight seal, preventing any leaks or water ingress. Avoiding excessive compression helps prevent the risk of compression set, a situation where the material loses its ability to rebound to its original shape after being compressed over time.
Durability and Weather Resistance
Made from high-quality EPDM, this edge trim offers exceptional resistance to extreme weather conditions, UV light, ozone, and many chemicals. EPDM is well-suited for a wide range of everyday and industrial applications, making it an ideal choice for sealing projects that are exposed to the elements.
With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +120°C, the Self Grip Top Seal remains reliable even in challenging environments, ensuring long-lasting performance in a variety of settings.
Limitations
While EPDM is highly versatile, it is not recommended for use in environments where the seal will be exposed to oil or fuel, as these substances can compromise the material’s integrity. Therefore, it’s important to assess the specific requirements of your application before selecting this product.
Versatile Applications
The Self Grip Top Seal is commonly used in a variety of industries and settings, including:
Windows & Doors: Provides a reliable seal for doors and windows, helping to prevent drafts, water ingress, and energy loss.
Hatches & Lockers: Ensures that hatches and lockers remain watertight, protecting contents from moisture.
Enclosures & Cabinets: Used to create an airtight and waterproof seal for enclosures and cabinets, making it suitable for electrical and mechanical applications.
Conclusion
The Self Grip Top Seal with 11mm Diameter Bulb offers a high-quality, durable, and easy-to-use sealing solution for a wide range of applications. With its self-gripping design, high-performance EPDM material, and reliable sealing capabilities, this edge trim is an excellent choice for anyone needing a long-lasting and efficient way to seal panel edges. Whether you're working on a domestic project or an industrial application, this product will provide the secure, watertight seal you need to ensure the longevity and reliability of your installation.
