GN 2184 Edge Protection Profiles

J.W. Winco Inc. offers GN 2184 edge protection profiles. The RoHS-compliant GN 2184 edge protection profiles are installed on the front edge of metal sheets and plates, protecting the surfaces from damage by sharp edges.

The edge finish additionally achieves an optical decorative effect, while the need for potential further treatment, such as deburring and chamfering of cut or laser-cut metal sheets, is reduced to an absolute minimum.

Adhering to the guideline placement radii is recommended in order to guarantee permanent profile placement and to make assembly easier, as glue or other adhesives are not required. Assembly can be carried out by hand, or alternatively with a soft-face hammer. The embedded clamp insert prevents it from detaching.

The profiles, temperature resistant -40° to 90° C (-40° to 194° F). They are black in color as standard and made from a black polyvinyl chloride, with a textured finish, and hardness 70±5 Shore A. They are also available in white and gray upon request. The clamp insert in the body of the seal profile is made of a steel clamping band.

  • hardness

    hardness

    Hardness is a measure of the resistance of a material to surface indentation or abrasion. There is no absolute scale for hardness. In order to express hardness quantitatively, each type of test has its own scale, which defines hardness. Indentation hardness obtained through static methods is measured by Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers and Knoop tests. Hardness without indentation is measured by a dynamic method, known as the Scleroscope test.
