Description:
Self Grip Side Seal With Large Bulb – To Fit 1mm to 3mm Thick Panel
When it comes to sealing edges for automotive, industrial, or everyday applications, finding a reliable, durable solution is crucial. The Self Grip Side Seal With Large Bulb is designed to meet these demands by providing a secure, watertight seal for 1mm to 3mm thick panels, making it an excellent choice for various sealing tasks.
Designed for Versatility and Ease of Use
This edge trim features a large sponge sealing bulb that ensures a tight, effective seal. It is commonly used as a side door seal on vehicles like the VW T4, but its uses extend far beyond just automotive applications. Whether you’re looking for a sealing solution for machinery, industrial equipment, or other projects requiring reliable edge sealing, this product has you covered.
To create a solid seal, it is recommended to compress the sponge bulb by about 30%. This compression helps avoid a compression set, ensuring the seal remains effective for a long time. This feature is especially useful in situations where a tight, durable seal is needed to protect against moisture and environmental factors.
Self-Gripping Design for Easy Installation
One of the standout features of this edge trim is its self-gripping metal spine. This spine allows the trim to hold itself in place, eliminating the need for additional adhesives. Once fitted, the trim remains securely attached, maintaining its shape and impact resistance. The self-gripping design also makes it easy to remove and reuse the product if necessary. It can be fitted by simply tapping it into place with your hand or a soft-faced hammer.
This innovative self-gripping feature ensures ease of installation and long-lasting performance, making it an ideal choice for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike. Whether you are working with vehicles, doors, windows, or other applications, this edge trim will save you time and effort during installation.
Made from High-Quality EPDM Rubber
Manufactured from high-quality EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber, this side seal offers outstanding durability. EPDM is known for its excellent resistance to various substances, including UV rays, ozone, air, and a broad range of chemicals. It is a versatile material that performs well in both everyday and industrial settings. However, it is important to note that EPDM is not recommended for environments that involve frequent exposure to oil or fuel.
This robust material ensures that the seal remains intact under challenging conditions, providing longevity and continued performance throughout its lifespan. With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +120°C, this edge trim can withstand a wide variety of environmental conditions, from freezing winters to scorching summers.
Practical for Automotive and Industrial Applications
While this product is often used as a side door seal for the VW T4, its applications are not limited to just vehicles. It is an excellent solution for a variety of automotive and industrial sealing needs. Whether you're sealing a machine enclosure, door panel, or another edge, the Self Grip Side Seal With Large Bulb provides an effective, reliable barrier against the elements.
