The plastic wing piping features a 5.7mm diameter hollow bead, which is perfectly complemented by a 37mm long plastic tail. The piping's compact yet flexible design makes it ideal for a range of sealing tasks. Its primary use is in the automotive industry, where it is employed in older and classic cars to create sealed joints between the wing and body.
Applications Across Various Industries
Although plastic wing piping is most commonly used in the automotive sector, its design and versatility make it suitable for many other industries. The unique "tadpole" shape—characterized by the small bulb and long, flexible tail—makes it perfect for a variety of sealing tasks. This seal is commonly used in:
Automotive: Between body panels, wings, and doors to create a tight, neat seal.
Caravans: To seal windows, doors, and other joints, providing excellent weather protection.
Rail: In railcars, sealing joints to prevent water or dirt ingress.
Marine: Sealing between parts of boats and marine vehicles to ensure durability in harsh environments.
Furthermore, its versatility extends to DIY and industrial projects where a small bulb with a long flexible tail is needed. This makes it an excellent choice for hobbyists, contractors, and engineers working on custom sealing applications.
Durability and Flexibility
The plastic wing piping is made from high-quality PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), a material known for its durability and resistance to a wide range of substances. The compound offers excellent resistance to chemicals, oils, fuels, UV light, air, and ozone, making it suitable for both everyday and industrial applications.
With a hardness rating of 67° Shore A—comparable to the rubber used in car tires—this piping maintains its flexibility while being tough enough to withstand various environmental conditions. Its 1.3mm thick tail allows for easy bending, enabling the product to adapt to a wide range of shapes and surfaces, ensuring a secure fit wherever it is used.
Additionally, PVC has an impressive temperature range, operating effectively between -20°C and +60°C, which ensures the plastic wing piping can perform well in both extreme heat and cold environments.
