Description:
Self Grip Side Seal with 16.5mm Diameter Bulb – Ideal for 2mm to 4mm Thick Panels
When it comes to creating a reliable and durable seal, especially for windows, doors, hatches, lockers, enclosures, and cabinets, the Self Grip Side Seal with a 16.5mm Diameter Bulb is the perfect solution. Designed to fit 2mm to 4mm thick panels, this edge trim is a versatile, easy-to-install product that ensures a watertight seal, making it an essential component for a range of industrial and everyday applications.
Key Features of the Self Grip Side Seal
Optimal Panel Fit: This edge trim is specifically designed to fit panels that are between 2mm and 4mm thick, making it highly adaptable for various sealing needs. The 16.5mm diameter sponge bulb ensures a secure, tight seal on panel edges, preventing leaks and protecting against external elements.
Compression for a Stronger Seal: To achieve an effective seal, it is recommended to compress the sponge bulb by approximately 30%. This compression not only enhances the watertight properties but also prevents compression set, ensuring the seal maintains its effectiveness over time.
Self-Gripping Metal Spine: One of the standout features of this side seal is its self-gripping metal spine. The integrated metal core eliminates the need for additional adhesives, making installation fast, easy, and mess-free. The self-gripping design ensures that the seal stays securely in place, even under stress or impact, while also allowing for removal and reuse if necessary.
Durable and Impact-Resistant: The combination of high-quality EPDM rubber and a self-gripping spine makes this product extremely durable. It is built to withstand impacts and hold its shape, offering a long-lasting solution for sealing panel edges.
Versatile Installation: Installation is simple, requiring only the application of gentle force to tap the trim onto the edge of the panel, either by hand or with a soft-faced hammer. This ease of use makes the product suitable for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Material and Performance
The Self Grip Side Seal is manufactured using high-quality EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber. EPDM is known for its superior resistance to a wide range of substances, including UV rays, ozone, and air exposure. This makes it an ideal material for outdoor and industrial applications. EPDM also offers excellent resistance to weathering and aging, ensuring that the seal will continue to perform optimally for years.
However, while EPDM is highly resistant to chemicals, air, and ozone, it is important to note that it is not recommended for environments that involve contact with oil or fuel, as it can deteriorate in such conditions. EPDM’s broad temperature tolerance, ranging from -40°C to +120°C, allows it to maintain its flexibility and sealing capabilities in extreme conditions.
Applications and Benefits
The Self Grip Side Seal with a 16.5mm Diameter Bulb is designed for a wide array of uses:
Windows & Doors: Prevent drafts, water leaks, and dust from entering by securing the edges of windows and doors.
Hatches & Lockers: Ideal for marine and automotive applications, where watertight seals are critical.
Enclosures & Cabinets: Use this seal to create an airtight or watertight barrier in electrical cabinets, enclosures, or industrial equipment.
Its ability to compress and form a solid seal makes it particularly useful in environments where water ingress is a concern, such as boats, caravans, and outdoor storage areas.
Easy Ordering and Customization
This product is available in a 50-meter coil and is sold per meter, allowing you to order exactly the amount you need for your project. Whether you're sealing a small area or outfitting a large number of panels, the Self Grip Side Seal can be easily cut and adapted to your specifications.
