RS PRO Black EPDM Edging Strip, 20m

RS PRO Flexible EPDM Edge Protector Strip with Sealing Section

From RS Pro a high-quality flexible edge protector strip or edging strip made from EPDM rubber with a hollow sponge rubber sealing section bonded to it. This rubber edge protector strip performs two functions; the edge protector covers and protects the sharp edges of sheet material such as metal panels and the sponge rubber section provides additional sealing. The edge protector strip has a robust design which consists of a U shaped metal insert strip covered in an extruded black EPDM coating. A looped wire carrier is incorporated inside the strip. The edge protection strip is simply pressed into place by hand and the lips in the EPDM coating and teeth in the metal insert hold the inserted edge in place using a clamping effect. There is no need for any additional preparatory work, tooling or adhesives.

Applications

Edge protection strips are used in a wide range of applications and industries to cover sharp or raw edges on panels and doors. Protection is provided both to the door or panel edge and against injury or damage that the sharp edges may cause. Using these edge protectors also provides a neat finish or decorative effect to an end product. When used with sheet metal material these edge protectors help to reduce noise, wear and tear resulting from vibration. Edge protection strips can be used on plastics and metalwork in a wide range of industries and are commonly used in the automotive industry as automotive trimmings. Applications include:
• Spare tyre and radio compartment cut-outs in cars
• Control panels and windows in large machines
• Underbody vehicle protection to prevent wires from rubbing
• Seat frames in vehicles
• Openings in refuse containers
