Plastic Trim

Flexible trim can be bent along a gradual curve. Trim with a hard or medium-hard rating withstand high levels of impact. The harder the bumper, the more impact it withstands.

Push-on trim fits onto an edge and it grips on three sides for a tight hold. Trim with an interior adhesive strip offers additional gripping strength.

Push-in stem trim has a barbed stem to fit snugly into grooves or openings that are slightly smaller than the stem thickness.

Conductive Plastic Trim

With a surface resistivity of 10⁵ohms, this trim safeguards equipment from static electricity by diverting electrostatic charges quickly. Made of plastic, it's also chemical resistant. Use it to protect the edges of electronics equipment and circuit boards from impact. Push this trim onto an edge and it grips on three sides for a tight hold. All are flexible so it can bend along a gradual curve. This trim has a hard rating to withstand high levels of impact. It's also nonmarking.

Super-Cushioning Foam U-Channels

The open top allows these foam U-channels to slide over and cushion an edge. Use them in packaging applications. This polyethylene foam has closed-cell construction, which restricts water, air, and gases from being absorbed.
