    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Surface Guards. Style 2.

    Style 2

    Protect walls, edges, and other surfaces from dents, scratches, and impact from carts, equipment, and everyday traffic.
    Adhesive Back—Peel and stick to any clean, smooth surface. They can be cut to size.
    Extra Flexible—Bend these guards around tight curves and contours. They’re often used to protect columns and irregular equipment surfaces.
    Hardness Rating—The harder the surface guard, the better it stands up to impact and abrasion over long periods. The softer the guard, the more cushioning it provides to protect the surface and the object that makes contact.

    Style 1

    Style 2

    Strengthened with a metal core yet still bendable, these guards conform to curved surfaces and withstand repeated impact. Bend them around columns, curved walls, and equipment edges to protect against damage from carts, forklifts, and other vehicles.
    Use any number of corner, edge, and surface guards to cover your area. Corner guards, edge guards, and end caps mount with fasteners.
    Synthetic Rubber and EPDM—More impact and abrasion resistant than vinyl plastic guards.
    Vinyl Plastic—These guards resist water and common cleaning solutions so they are easy to wash down and maintain.
    Style 1—These guards have a solid outer face. Mount them by drilling through the front, screwing into the metal reinforcement from behind, or using adhesive.
    Style 2—A slit along the face opens, so you don’t need to drill through the front to fasten with screws. These guards have a more seamless look and are easier to install than Style 1 but are less durable and impact resistant.

    A vinyl cover snaps onto an aluminum base for strong impact protection and a clean, fastener-free look. The aluminum base reinforces these guards against repeated contact from carts and equipment, so they withstand high-traffic areas such as corridors and loading zones. Also known as crash rails.
    Combine any number of corner guards, surface guards, and end caps to cover your area. To install, drill the included aluminum base, secure with fasteners, then snap on the cover.

    Plastic Edge Trim for Food and Beverage

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Edge Trim. Plastic Edge Trim for Food and Beverage, Style 9.

    Style 9

    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.

    High-Temperature Slippery PTFE—Stays strong and flexible at temperatures about twice as high as our other plastic trim. It’s also the slipperiest edge trim we offer, so it helps maintain a constant flow of parts on chutes, slides, and other conveying equipment.

    Rubber Corner Guards

    Round—90° Angle

    Protect corners with guards that balance strength and cushioning. They’re softer and more flexible than hard plastic, so they absorb more impact to reduce damage to both the corner and the object that hits it. They don’t cushion as much as foam, but hold up better under heavy impact and outdoor elements where foam may break down.
    Plain Back—Install with screws, nails, or construction adhesive.
    Extra Flexible—Bend around tight curves and contours.
    Hardness Rating—The harder the guard, the better it stands up to impact and abrasion over time. The softer the guard, the more cushioning it has to protect the corner and the object that bumps it.
