Key Features and Benefits
Ideal for Panel Thickness Between 2mm to 4mm
This edge trim is designed specifically to fit onto panels that are 2mm to 4mm thick. Its 18mm square sponge sealing bulb creates a tight seal that prevents leaks, keeping moisture and air out. It is ideal for applications where a reliable seal is essential to maintain the integrity of the structure, such as in windows, doors, and enclosures.
Self-Gripping Design for Easy Installation
One of the standout features of this product is its self-gripping metal spine. Unlike other seals that require adhesive to stay in place, the Self Grip Side Seal is engineered to hold itself securely on the panel edge without additional glue. This self-gripping design allows for a faster and cleaner installation process, and it ensures that the seal remains in place even under moderate impact. If necessary, the seal can be easily removed and reused, making it an economical and flexible option.
To install, simply tap the trim onto the edge using your hand or a soft-faced hammer. This simple process ensures that the seal is firmly positioned and won’t slip out of place over time.
High-Quality Material Construction
The Self Grip Side Seal is made from durable PVC and expanded EPDM, two materials known for their longevity and resistance to various elements. These hard-wearing compounds are perfect for use in environments exposed to chemicals, UV rays, air, and ozone, offering reliable protection against wear and tear.
However, it is important to note that this product is not recommended for environments where it may come into contact with oil or fuel, as these substances can degrade the rubber compounds. The materials have been chosen for their ability to withstand harsh conditions, making them ideal for marine, automotive, and industrial uses.
Temperature Resistance for Versatile Use
The operating temperature range for this product is between -10°C to +60°C, which means it can function effectively in a wide range of environmental conditions. Whether you're using it in outdoor marine applications or in a temperature-controlled industrial environment, this seal remains reliable across varying temperatures.
Easy Compression for Optimal Performance
For the best performance, it is recommended to compress the sponge bulb of the seal by approximately 30%. This compression ensures a tight, effective seal while preventing the risk of compression set, where the material loses its ability to spring back after compression. By properly compressing the bulb, the Self Grip Side Seal delivers an optimal balance of flexibility and security.
Versatility Across Industries
This edge trim with side seal can be used in a variety of applications, making it a must-have product for professionals in different industries. Some of its most common uses include:
Marine: Ideal for sealing hatches, doors, and windows on boats and ships, providing protection against water ingress.
Automotive: Used to seal doors, windows, and enclosures in cars, trucks, and trailers, helping to maintain a weatherproof barrier.
Industrial: Perfect for lockers, cabinets, and enclosures where a reliable seal is necessary to protect sensitive equipment or materials from the elements.
Available in Custom Lengths
Sold per metre, the Self Grip Side Seal allows for custom lengths based on the specific needs of your project. With a coil length of 50 metres, you have the flexibility to purchase the exact amount required, ensuring minimal waste and maximum efficiency.
