8 x 13 mm PVC Metal-Reinforced Pinchweld Edge Trim

Product Overview

SealsHub supplies the 8 x 13 mm PVC Metal-Reinforced Pinchweld Edge Trim, a U channel edge protection profile designed for panel edges with a 1–3 mm grip range.

Featuring a 9 mm channel depth and a 4 mm top thickness, this profile provides a substantial protective section over the exposed panel edge. The thicker top section helps create a more cushioned contact area between the trim and the surrounding environment while providing a finished edge appearance.

The flexible PVC structure covers the panel edge, while the internal metal reinforcement supports gripping and helps keep the trim securely positioned after installation. This combination makes the profile suitable for metal and plastic panels requiring both secure edge retention and increased top-edge coverage.

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