Self Grip Side Lipseal with 14mm Wide Lip: The Ultimate Edge Trim for Watertight Sealing
When it comes to sealing windows, doors, hatches, lockers, enclosures, and cabinets, finding the right edge trim is essential. The Self Grip Side Lipseal with a 14mm wide lip is designed to offer the perfect solution for a watertight seal, ensuring your installations are secure and weatherproof. This product is engineered to fit panels with thicknesses ranging from 1.5mm to 3mm and is available in a convenient 50m coil, sold per metre.
Key Features and Benefits:
Easy Installation with Self-Gripping Design: The self-gripping metal spine is the standout feature of this edge trim. It holds itself securely in place without the need for additional adhesives, which means you can install it quickly and efficiently. Simply tap it onto the panel edge with your hand or a soft-faced hammer, and the trim will stay in place. The self-gripping mechanism also allows for easy removal and reusability, making it a flexible solution for both permanent and temporary installations.
Effective Watertight Seal: The 14mm wide sponge sealing lip is designed to compress by approximately 30% when installed, which ensures a reliable and tight seal. This compression helps create a watertight barrier that protects against moisture, dust, and other environmental elements. Whether you're sealing a window frame, hatch, or cabinet, the trim provides the necessary protection to maintain the integrity of your enclosures.
Durability and Flexibility: Made from high-quality EPDM rubber, the Self Grip Side Lipseal is built to withstand a variety of everyday and industrial applications. EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is known for its excellent resistance to UV rays, ozone, air, and most chemicals. It also performs well under extreme temperatures, with an operating range from -40°C to +120°C. This makes it suitable for a wide range of uses, from domestic installations to more demanding industrial environments.
Impact Resistance and Shape Retention: The design of this edge trim ensures that it holds its shape and can withstand impacts without losing its integrity. The self-gripping metal spine not only provides a secure fit but also helps maintain the trim’s structure even under stress or wear. This durability makes it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas or applications where the trim might be subject to knocks and impacts.
Versatile Use: Whether you're working on windows, doors, hatches, or cabinets, this self-gripping side lipseal is a versatile solution that ensures a professional finish. It’s perfect for sealing gaps, providing protection from water infiltration, and offering a neat, clean look to the edges of your panels.
Ideal Applications:
Windows and Doors: Prevent water leakage by sealing the gaps around window frames and doors.
Hatches and Lockers: Ensure tight closures and weatherproofing for marine applications or storage units.
Enclosures and Cabinets: Ideal for sealing electrical cabinets or outdoor enclosures that require protection against the elements.
Why Choose EPDM?
EPDM is a preferred material in edge trim and sealing products due to its remarkable resistance to weathering, UV degradation, and ozone. This rubber compound excels in outdoor environments where exposure to sunlight, air, and temperature fluctuations is common. Its high flexibility ensures that it maintains a tight seal even as it expands and contracts with temperature changes, making it perfect for both residential and industrial applications.
However, it is important to note that while EPDM is highly resistant to most chemicals, it is not recommended for environments where oil or fuel is present. If your application involves exposure to these substances, a different material may be more suitable.
Conclusion:
The Self Grip Side Lipseal with 14mm wide lip offers a highly efficient, durable, and easy-to-install solution for sealing edges on panels from 1.5mm to 3mm thick. With its self-gripping design, EPDM construction, and watertight seal, this product is ideal for a wide range of applications, from domestic to industrial. Whether you need to protect against moisture or impact, this trim provides the long-lasting performance you can rely on.
