    Protect the edges of equipment in food and beverage plants from bumps and scrapes. This trim is made of smooth, nonporous plastic to prevent bacteria from growing, and it's FDA compliant for direct contact with food. It stands up to impact and abrasion over longer periods than our rubber and foam trim, though it doesn’t offer the same protective cushion when people and parts bump against it.

    Chemical-Resistant Slippery UHMW Polyethylene—Eases friction on cooler doors and other sliding edges while standing up to harsh cleaning agents such as bleach and alcohol-based disinfectants. While PTFE is even slipperier, UHMW polyethylene stands up better to abrasion and wear.
    Hardness Rating—The harder the edge trim, the better it withstands impact and abrasion over time. The softer the edge trim, the more cushioning it provides for fragile materials such as glass and thin metal.

    Bright colors make these guards easy to spot in busy areas. Their raised-bulb profile deflects impact better than flat guards. Use them to protect walls and other surfaces from chips and scrapes in areas such as warehouses, loading docks, and parking garages.
    Hardness Rating—The harder the surface guard, the better it resists impact and abrasion to protect the surface. The softer the surface guard, the more cushioning it provides to protect both the surface and the object that comes into contact with it.

    Bright colors make corners easy to spot. Unlike rubber and foam guards, these plastic guards deflect impact away from corners instead of absorbing it. They’re often used in parking garages, warehouses, and loading docks.
