Key Features and Benefits
Perfect Fit for 3mm to 5mm Panels
The edge trim is tailored to fit panels within the thickness range of 3mm to 5mm. This makes it suitable for a variety of applications where you need to ensure a tight seal between the panel and the surrounding structure.
15.3mm Diameter Sponge Sealing Bulb
At the heart of the product is a 15.3mm diameter sponge bulb, which is designed to create a solid, watertight seal when compressed by around 30%. This ensures optimal sealing performance while preventing compression set—an issue where the material loses its ability to compress after extended use.
Self-Gripping Design
One of the standout features of this product is its self-gripping metal spine. Unlike traditional edge trims that require adhesive for installation, this trim stays firmly in place without any additional glue or fixative. This feature not only simplifies installation but also makes it easier to remove and reuse the trim multiple times without compromising its shape or effectiveness.
Easy Installation
Fitting this edge trim is simple and hassle-free. You can install it by simply tapping it onto the panel edge with your hand or a soft-faced hammer. The self-gripping design ensures the trim stays in place once applied, providing a secure and lasting seal.
High-Quality EPDM Material
The trim is made from EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), a premium rubber compound known for its excellent resistance to environmental factors. EPDM offers modular resistance to a wide range of substances, including most chemicals, UV rays, air, and ozone. This makes it an ideal choice for both everyday and industrial applications. However, it is not recommended for environments exposed to oil or fuel, as EPDM is not designed to withstand these substances.
Temperature Range
Another advantage of EPDM is its wide operating temperature range. The Self Grip Side Seal can function effectively between temperatures of -40°C to +120°C, making it suitable for use in a variety of harsh weather conditions.
Applications
This edge trim with side seal is highly versatile, providing a reliable solution for many different applications:
Windows and Doors: Use it for creating airtight and watertight seals around windows and doors in various structures.
Hatches and Lockers: Ensures that hatches and lockers remain secure and sealed, preventing unwanted air or water infiltration.
Enclosures and Cabinets: Ideal for use in enclosures and cabinets that require a tight seal for environmental protection or to keep dust and moisture out.
