Rubber Edge Trim & Pinchweld Seals

Rubber United supplies rubber edge trim and pinchweld seals for automotive, commercial vehicle and industrial fabrication projects across South Africa. Our range includes flexible PVC edge trim profiles as well as EPDM pinchweld seals with foam rubber bulbs for sealing and edge protection.These profiles help protect exposed edges while also reducing vibration, dust and moisture ingress. In addition, many profiles in this range are UV and weather resistant, making them suitable for demanding indoor and outdoor environments. Most profiles also feature steel reinforcement for improved grip and long term durability.

The range is supplied in convenient 50 metre rolls for wholesale and industrial use. Furthermore, the profiles are suitable for canopies, trailers, enclosures, truck bodies and sheet metal installations.

Plain Edge Trim

Our plain edge trim profiles are manufactured from flexible PVC and provide reliable protection for exposed edges and panel work. These profiles create a clean finish while also helping reduce damage caused by sharp metal edges and constant movement.

Plain edge trim is commonly used on sheet metal, fibreglass panels, trailers and industrial enclosures. As a result, it is a practical solution for automotive and fabrication environments where edge protection is important.

Side Bulb Pinchweld Seals

Side bulb pinchweld seals combine sealing performance with edge protection in one profile. These EPDM profiles include a foam rubber bulb and a reinforced gripping section for a secure fit on metal panels and edges.

The side bulb design helps reduce dust, water and vibration while maintaining a compact sealing solution. Therefore, these profiles are widely used on canopies, commercial vehicles, trailers and automotive body applications.

Top Bulb Pinchweld Seals

Top bulb pinchweld seals provide effective compression sealing for lids, hatches, compartments and vehicle doors. The bulb sits above the gripping section, which allows consistent pressure when the panel or door closes.

These EPDM foam rubber profiles help improve sealing performance while also protecting exposed edges from wear and vibration. Consequently, they are suitable for demanding automotive and industrial environments.
