Versatile Sealing, Edge Protection, and Trimming Solutions

U-channels are adaptable to a wide range of applications, most commonly used for sealing, edge protection, and trimming. Typically manufactured from black EPDM rubber, our U-channels offer exceptional ozone and UV stability, ensuring a lifespan of up to thirty years.

Colour Matching for Aesthetic and Heritage Applications

The ability to colour match is crucial for aesthetic solutions and maintaining the integrity of original buildings. Our colour-matched U-channels have been utilised in significant projects such as Eastlink and Perth Arena, as well as various architectural and heritage restorations. U-channels are also commonly used in the furniture industry for finishing baskets, bins, and tables.

U-Channels in the Refrigeration Industry

Boss Polymer has supplied U-channel gaskets for the refrigeration industry, serving companies like Bondor and Metecno. In these applications, the U-channel acts as a seal around refrigerated doors.

Marine Applications: Sealing and Safety

Many ships use U-channels for sealing doors and various safety applications, such as low doorways. For example, in the InCat Catamaran project, thermoplastic rubber was used in large expansion joints inside the hull (protected from the elements), while EPDM rubber was used elsewhere on the vessel due to its superior resistance to harsh saltwater conditions.
