Low-trigger-force (5-10N) safety edges are widely used in public facilities such as escalators and elevators. Their EPDM rubber surface is UV-resistant and offers an outdoor lifespan of over five years.
For example, the rubber edge strips on escalator steps instantly halt operation if a child's shoelaces become entangled, reducing the risk of pinching by 76%. Maintenance employs a dual-fixing system using adhesive backing and screws. Replacing a single step requires only removing the connectors at both ends, avoiding complete line downtime. It's important to note that FDA-certified rubber strips are required in food processing areas to prevent grease penetration and deformation and failure.
