Spring-Fast Grommet Edging: Flexi-Grommet™ BAP Series

The BAP Series has a steel substrate encapsulated with lubricious fusion bonded nylon
for superior abrasion and chemical resistance.  It also has enhanced gripping strength
for severe shock and vibration environments, multi-axis flexibility – plus a sacrificial polymer cushion.

The BAP Series is the AP series plus a sacrificial polymer cushion.

Key Benefits

  • Superior performance: encapsulated stainless steel core: outperforms plastic grommets.
  • Snap on installation lowers costs 49% vs. grommets with glue.  Watch the 4 min. video below.
  • Improves efficiency 9.5x – due to fewer steps in workflow.

Applications

  • Commercial use when superior grip strength and retention is an important factor
  • Roll formed edges
  • Small radii inside or outside corners

Features

The old nylon grommet with glue is old, inefficient and costly.  DTi has a better way.

  • Nylon encapsulated stainless steel substrate with a polymer cushion
  • Snaps on fast with finger pressure
  • Installs continuously with multi axis conformity
  • Self locking with strong retention – no adhesives
  • Simpler install: no adhesive, fixturing, curing, clean up or OSHA concerns
  • Maintenance is far easier due to its ease of application, use and removal
  • Customization available (lengths, colors and print)
