Gaskets and Edge Protection
Gaskets and edge protection are essential components in various industrial, automotive, and consumer applications, serving distinct yet often complementary roles. Gaskets are sealing materials placed between two or more mating surfaces to prevent leaks and ensure tight sealing. They are commonly used in systems where liquids or gases are transported, such as in pipes, engines, and hydraulic systems. Gaskets can be made from a variety of materials, including rubber, silicone, metal, and cork, depending on the application's specific temperature, pressure, and chemical resistance requirements. On the other hand, edge protection refers to products designed to cover, reinforce, or cushion the edges of different materials like metal, glass, or plastic. These are often used to prevent injuries from sharp edges, to protect surfaces from damage during transport or use, and to provide a finished aesthetic look. Edge protection can be made from materials like rubber, plastic, or foam and comes in various shapes and sizes to fit different applications. Both gaskets and edge protection play crucial roles in enhancing safety, functionality, and longevity of products and systems in which they are used.
