Self-Grip Side Seal with 15.3mm Diameter Bulb – A Perfect Solution for Watertight Sealing
When it comes to achieving a reliable, long-lasting seal for a variety of panel applications, the Self-Grip Side Seal with a 15.3mm Diameter Bulb is an excellent solution. Designed to fit panels ranging from 3mm to 5mm thick, this edge trim offers the perfect balance of durability, flexibility, and ease of use, making it an ideal choice for a range of industrial and everyday applications.
Key Features
Panel Compatibility: This edge trim is designed to fit snugly onto panel edges that are 3mm to 5mm thick, ensuring a secure fit for various panel types.
Sealing Performance: With a 15.3mm diameter sponge sealing bulb, it creates a highly effective barrier that provides watertight sealing. This makes it an ideal choice for use in windows, doors, hatches, lockers, enclosures, and cabinets.
Compression Recommendations: To achieve optimal performance and prevent compression set, it is recommended that the sponge bulb be compressed by approximately 30%. This compression ensures a strong and durable seal that holds up over time.
Self-Gripping Design: One of the standout features of this seal is its self-gripping metal spine. This design eliminates the need for additional adhesives, saving both time and money. The seal stays securely in place without compromising its flexibility, and it can be removed and reused multiple times if necessary.
Installation: The seal can be easily installed by tapping it onto the panel edge with your hand or a soft-faced hammer. This simple installation process means you can quickly get the job done without the need for professional assistance.
Durability and Quality
The Self-Grip Side Seal is made from high-quality EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber, a material that is known for its outstanding resilience and versatility. EPDM is highly resistant to a range of substances, including UV light, ozone, and many chemicals, making it an excellent choice for outdoor and industrial use. The material’s ability to withstand extreme temperatures—from -40°C to +120°C—ensures that the seal will perform reliably in both hot and cold environments.
While EPDM is highly resistant to many substances, it is important to note that it is not recommended for environments where contact with oil or fuel is likely, as these substances may degrade the material over time.
Applications
This Self-Grip Side Seal is versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications. Some of the most common uses include:
Windows and Doors: To create a watertight seal that prevents drafts and leaks.
Hatches and Lockers: To ensure enclosures are securely sealed and protected from the elements.
Cabinets and Enclosures: Ideal for applications where a clean, tight seal is required to protect contents from dust, moisture, or contaminants.
Its ability to maintain a secure fit without adhesives also makes it a fantastic choice for projects that may require the seal to be removed or replaced later.
