EN60204-1

The ability of the Safedge profile to out perform competition lies in its innovative design. EN60204-1 uses a combination of non conductive rubber and flexible wire cored conductive rubber bonded together so it keeps bouncing back into shape even after repeated compressions.

The EN60204-1 Safedge profiles come in 3 different cushions factors: 5mm (0.2in), 19mm (0.75in) and 41mm (1.6in). Cushion factor is the distance the profile can be depressed after a signal has been generated. The profiles are also offered with a sealing lip which is designed to reduce drafts between the profile and opposing surface.

The EN60204-1 profiles come in two different materials. Use the EPDM material in the presence of conductive fluids. The NBR/CR material performs better in the presence of oils. Review the chemical resistance chart to help make the best choice of material. If in doubt,a small sample of the profile should be tested for chemical resistance before a final selection is made.

The EN60204-1 Safedge profile has no rigid internal parts which can "break through" or cause fatigue failures after prolonged use. The multistranded copper wire core throughout the length of the strip insures that there are no problems of resistance build up on long lengths.
