    Style 11

    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.
