Efficient and Reusable Design
One of the key advantages of this self-grip side seal is its self-gripping metal spine. This design ensures that the trim will hold itself in place securely, without requiring additional adhesive. It offers a reliable and long-lasting solution for edge sealing, with the added benefit that it can be removed and reused multiple times if needed.

High-Quality EPDM Material
This self-grip edge trim is made from high-quality EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), a rubber compound that is ideal for a variety of industrial and everyday applications. EPDM is known for its durability and excellent resistance to environmental elements. It resists UV rays, ozone, air, and most chemicals, making it a great choice for sealing applications exposed to the outdoors or harsh conditions. However, it is important to note that EPDM is not recommended for environments where the material will come into contact with oil or fuel.
In addition to its chemical resistance, EPDM can withstand a wide range of temperatures, from -40°C to +120°C, making it suitable for both extreme cold and hot environments.

This edge trim is commonly used in a variety of settings where watertight seals are crucial. Some of its most popular uses include:
Windows and Doors: Ensuring a secure, weather-resistant seal to prevent leaks.
