Spring-Fast Grommet Edging: BT Series
The BT Series has a steel substrate encapsulated with lubricious fusion bonded nylon for superior abrasion
and chemical resistance and adds a sacrificial polymer cushion for even greater wire and cable protection.
BT is the T series plus a sacrificial 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
- General commercial use to prevent abrasion
- Straight 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 sacrificial cushion for added protection
- Snaps on fast with finger pressure
- Installs continuously with two axis conformity, including right angled corners
- 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)
