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.

| Grommet Series | Castle Geometry | Flexibility | Polymer Coating | Extra Cushion | 100% TPE Encapsulation | High Heat | Mil Spec | Application Method | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BAP | Opposing | Multi axis | Yes | Yes | No | 285°F/140°C | No | Snap on/No adhesive | No cure time delay |
| FOR REFERENCE | |||||||||
| MS21266 Nylon | Opposing | 2 axis | NA | Yes | NA | 257°F/125°C | Yes | Adhesive Required | 8-24hr cure time delay |
| MS21266 Teflon | Opposing | 2 axis | NA | Yes | NA | 527°F/275°C | Yes | Adhesive Required | 8-24hr cure time delay |
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)
