Features and Benefits
Versatile Panel Fit
The Self Grip Side Seal is specifically designed to fit panel edges ranging from 1.5mm to 3mm in thickness. Whether you're working on thin or slightly thicker panels, this trim provides an excellent fit, ensuring ease of installation and a reliable seal.
11mm Diameter Sponge Bulb for Enhanced Sealing
At the core of this edge trim is the 11mm diameter sponge sealing bulb. This bulb effectively compresses when installed, ensuring a tight seal to prevent water, air, or dust from penetrating. The foam-like structure provides flexibility and resilience, making it an ideal solution for both industrial and everyday use.
Self-Gripping Metal Spine for Easy Installation
One of the standout features of this product is its self-gripping metal spine. This built-in metal section holds the trim in place without the need for additional adhesives. The self-gripping mechanism creates a secure fit, making installation quick and hassle-free. The trim stays in place, even in environments subject to vibration or slight movements, and can be easily removed and reused multiple times without losing its grip or shape.
Simple Installation Process
Installing the Self Grip Side Seal is easy. It can be fitted onto a panel edge simply by tapping it on with your hand or using a soft-faced hammer. This eliminates the need for complex tools or adhesives, saving time and reducing costs. The trim is designed to stay in place once installed, ensuring that it holds its shape even in harsh conditions.
Durability and Resistance
High-Quality EPDM Material
This edge trim is manufactured using EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), a high-quality rubber compound known for its excellent durability. EPDM is highly resistant to a wide range of substances, including most chemicals, UV rays, air, and ozone, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. It is an ideal choice for environments where exposure to the elements is common.
Temperature Range
EPDM also performs well under extreme temperatures, with an operational range from -40°C to +120°C. This makes the Self Grip Side Seal suitable for use in various climates, ensuring its effectiveness even in freezing or high-heat conditions. However, it is important to note that EPDM is not recommended for environments that come into contact with oil or fuel due to potential degradation.
Recommendations for Optimal Performance
To ensure the best possible seal, it is recommended to compress the sponge bulb by approximately 30% during installation. This compression ensures a tight seal without causing the material to lose its shape or structure. Avoiding over-compression helps prevent compression set, which could impact the longevity and effectiveness of the seal over time.
Applications
The Self Grip Side Seal with 11mm Diameter Bulb is a versatile product that can be used in a variety of settings, including:
Windows: To ensure water-tight seals and prevent drafts.
Doors and Hatches: Ideal for sealing edges of doors and hatches to enhance energy efficiency and prevent moisture ingress.
Lockers and Enclosures: Keeps contents secure and safe from environmental elements.
Cabinets: Prevents dust and moisture from entering storage spaces.
Whether you’re sealing windows, doors, or industrial enclosures, this edge trim provides an effective, reusable, and easy-to-install solution.
Conclusion
The Self Grip Side Seal with 11mm diameter bulb is a high-performance, easy-to-install solution for sealing panel edges. Made from durable EPDM material, it offers reliable resistance to chemicals, UV rays, and extreme temperatures, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The self-gripping metal spine ensures a secure fit, and its reusable nature adds value by reducing long-term costs.
