Plastic Edge Protectors and Their Uses
Plastic edge protectors protect your products and help your cargo arrive safely.
In this article we take a closer look at this type of polymer packaging.
Plastic edge protectors (L-profiles) are among the most widely used long profiles across industries and are made from various types of plastic.
They are produced in different sizes and thicknesses, have many applications and feature an L-shaped cross-section.
Types of plastic edge protectors by material:
- Polyethylene (PE): highly resistant to moisture and chemicals, and suitable for outdoor use.
- Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): highly fire-resistant and suitable for projects that require heat resistance.
- Polypropylene (PP): excellent impact resistance, suitable for applications that need mechanical strength.
- ABS: highly resistant to impact and chemicals, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
