FAQ

 

Q: What is the best material for hatch cover tapes?​​

A: EPDM is the most commonly used due to its excellent weather, UV, and temperature resistance. However, material choice depends on specific exposure conditions (e.g., NBR for oil resistance).

Q: ​​How often should hatch cover tapes be replaced?​​

A: Under normal conditions, every 2–5 years. Frequent inspection is recommended, and replacement is needed if cracking, hardening, or compression loss is observed.

Q: ​​Can you supply custom-sized or profiled hatch cover tapes?​​

A: Yes, we offer full customization in dimensions, profiles, and materials based on your hatch cover design and operational needs.

Q: ​​What is your warranty policy?​​

A: We offer a standard 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Extended warranties may apply for specific material grades.
