8 x 18 mm PVC Metal-Reinforced Pinchweld Edge Trim

Product Overview

SealsHub supplies the 8 x 18 mm PVC Metal-Reinforced Pinchweld Edge Trim, a U channel edge protection profile designed for panel edges with a 0.5–3 mm grip range.

With a 16 mm channel depth, this profile provides extended coverage along the panel edge. The flexible PVC outer layer covers exposed panel edges and helps protect them from abrasion, impact, and general handling.

The internal metal reinforcement supports gripping along the panel edge, helping the trim remain securely positioned during installation and use. Its larger profile height and deeper channel make it suitable for applications requiring increased edge coverage.

The push-on design allows the trim to be fitted directly onto the panel edge without adhesive or additional fixing hardware in most applications.
