Product Information

EPDM Self-Grip Edge Trim (FR to EN 45542-2) – 7.4mm x 9.7mm

This self-grip edge trim – 7.4mm x 9.7mm is a highly durable edge protector which doubles as a decorative trim to improve the appearance of any 1mm to 2mm thick edge.

When storing or transporting materials, the edges often collide which can warp or, in some cases, cause damage to the material. Equally, leaving sharp edges exposed on finished products like sheds can pose a potential hazard to the people around them. This edge trim provides a simple and cost-effective solution to protect any edge from damage or from causing harm to other people.

This particular edge trim features a steel core that runs throughout the length of the product. This gives our product two main benefits over standard rubber edge trims. Firstly, the steel core provides a rigid structure which ensures it is able to hold its shape, even under heavy pressure. Secondly, the steel core offers a solid section to protect you, as well as the edge, from any potential impacts. The inner channel of the edge trim also contains a gripping arm which enables you to install this product without the need for adhesive. This enables you to use it over and over again.

We manufacture this profile using a high-quality EPDM compound. This provides our profile with high tensile strength and tear resistance properties. These properties are crucial in ensuring that our profile is able to absorb a wide range of impacts and deal with the wear and tear of daily use. EPDM also has excellent resistance to UV, ozone, and weathering, making it ideal for indoor and outdoor use. The EPDM compound used in the construction of this particular product conforms to the EN 45542-2:2020 standard – R22 / R23 requirements, HL2, for use in railway vehicles.

Ease of Function

Edge trim profiles simplify the finishing of edges. They eliminate preparatory and follow-up work, and cover sheet metal edges. Furthermore, their decorative effect is often desirable. The edge trim protectors consist of a U-shaped metal base, either a steel strip or wire carrier, jacketed with PVC or rubber. These guarantee a tight grip on the edge, even if radii or bends need cover. Press the edge trim profiles onto the edge by hand or with a rubber or thermoplastic hammer. You do not require adhesive or special attachment aids; installation is simple and quick.
