For a secure and lasting bond, the channel needs to be bonded onto the edge using a high-quality adhesive, such as S136, or a silicone sealant like S138. Both of these products are readily available on our website, ensuring you have everything needed for a seamless installation process.
Made from High-Quality EPDM Rubber
The U Channel with Bulb is manufactured from premium-grade EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), a flexible rubber compound widely used in industrial applications. EPDM is known for its excellent resistance to many substances, including most chemicals, UV rays, air, and ozone, making it an ideal choice for outdoor and harsh environments. However, it is not recommended for environments where it may come into contact with oil or fuel.
With a hardness of 70° Shore A, similar to the rubber found in car tyres, EPDM offers a balance between flexibility and strength, ensuring the rubber retains its shape and durability over time. It also boasts a wide operating temperature range, from -40°C to +120°C, making it suitable for various climates and conditions.
