This plastic reinforced edge trim with side seal is designed to fit onto a 1.5mm to 4mm thick panel edge and has 15mm diameter sponge sealing bulb. It is commonly used to create a watertight seal on windows, doors, hatches, lockers, enclosures and cabinets. We recommend compressing the sponge bulb by approximately 30% to create a good seal and avoid compression set.
It is manufactured with a self-gripping plastic spine so will hold itself in place without the need for additional adhesive. This plastic spine is advantageous in some applications due to its non-conductive and non-rusting properties. It is also more flexible and lighter than similar sized steel reinforced edge trims but still able to hold its shape and withstand impact.
We manufacture this product from high quality PVC which is a compound suitable for a wide range of everyday and industrial applications. This material has a good resistance to most substances including most chemicals, oil, fuel, UV, air and ozone. This product is around the same hardness (67° Shore A) as the rubber on a car tyre and has an operating temperature range between -20°C to +60°C.
