Spring-Fast Grommet Edging: SL Series
The SL Series has a steel substrate fully encapsulated in flexible, lubricious TPE
for superior abrasion and chemical resistance.
It has 4-axis flexibility and acts as a best in class grommet edge or a high performance edge trim.
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
- Used in high performance applications: aircraft structures/interiors, avionics systems,
military vehicles, NASCAR vehicles, supercomputers, medical equipment and rail transit - Straight, roll formed and flanged edges
- Multi axis flexibility for flanged holes and small radii inside or outside corners
- High performance edge trim
Features
The old nylon grommet with glue is old, inefficient and costly. DTi has a better way.
