Overview
What is Rubber Edge Trim?
Made of either dense EPDM or neoprene rubber, rubber edge trim is used virtually anywhere a decorative or protective edge is needed. From edging sheet metal to covering rough, exposed surfaces, Trim-Lok’s highly flexible rubber trim provides excellent wear and ozone resistance while fitting most tight radius applications.
Rubber Edge Trim Applications
Dense EPDM and neoprene are all-purpose materials that offer excellent wear, ozone, and abrasion resistance. This rubber edge trim not only resists harsh weather conditions, but it also withstands moisture, and sunlight making it excellent for outdoor use. Whether you need a decorative or protective rubber edge guard, our rubber edge trim is ideal for:
- • Sheet meal
- • Sharp edges
- • Boats
- • Truck cabs
- • Forklifts
- • Cabinets
- • Playground and kitchen equipment
- • and more
EPDM vs. Neoprene Rubber Edge Protection
As you choose rubber edge protection for your application, learn about the two base materials that Trim-Lok offers: a dense neoprene rubber blend or an EPDM dense rubber.
EPDM maintains flexibility at low temperatures, while neoprene provides less flexibility at low temperatures. While both materials provide excellent wear and ozone resistance and fit most tight radius applications, neoprene resists oil and fuel better than EPDM.
How to Install Rubber Edge Trim
Follow these three steps to easily install your rubber edge trim:
- • Measure and cut to desired length
- • Push trim down to provide a strong grip on any exposed edge
- • Although adhesive isn't required, rubber edge trim is also available with hot melt adhesive or butyl adhesive sealant to keep product in place
Watch this video to learn more about the differences between hot melt adhesive and butyl adhesive for rubber edge trims.
