Glass rack profiles - All types & sizes

Glass rack profiles are extruded or molded seals and supports manufactured to client drawings or specifications, available in a full range of cross-sections and sizes. Materials such as EPDM, NBR, silicone and polyurethane provide tailored properties—abrasion resistance, chemical resistance and temperature stability—for Glass rack rubbers and precision edge protection. Profiles can incorporate channels, clips or adhesive flanges for reliable mechanical retention and load distribution.

Custom design and material selection services are available; consult our technical team for specification guidance. See our custom rubber extrusions collection for examples and fabrication capabilities relevant to Glass rack protection.

Glass rack rubbers — materials and custom manufacturing

Glass rack rubbers are available in a wide range of profile shapes and materials to accommodate different handling, storage and transport requirements. Profiles can be manufactured to client drawings or specifications using elastomers and thermoplastics such as EPDM, neoprene, silicone and PVC, with options for varying shore hardness, reinforcement and surface finishes. For bespoke requirements, refer to our custom rubber extrusions for tailored profiles and tolerances. Production methods include continuous extrusion and cut-to-length fabrication to produce single or multi-component assemblies.

Glass rack protection — selection and application guidance

Glass rack protection focuses on preventing edge damage, abrasion and movement during handling while maintaining ease of loading and unloading. Profile selection should consider glass thickness, rack spacing, chemical exposure and environmental conditions to ensure appropriate resilience and compression set characteristics. Standard and engineered solutions exist for marine, construction and industrial environments; review our rubber extrusions for common profile families and material properties. Contact our team for technical advice on matching profile geometry and material to your application. RuplaTec supplies glass rack profiles manufactured to customer specifications and can advise on compatibility with existing racking systems.

FAQ

What are glass rack profiles and how do they provide glass rack protection?

Glass rack profiles are molded or extruded sealing and cushioning components designed to support and protect sheet glass during storage and transport. They provide glass rack protection by absorbing contact forces, preventing direct glass-to-metal contact, and reducing vibration and abrasion. Profiles are selected according to edge geometry and handling requirements to ensure consistent support and reduce the risk of chipping or surface damage. For application-specific guidance, you can contact our team for technical advice.

Can you manufacture glass rack rubbers to my drawings or specifications?

Yes. We have the capacity to manufacture glass rack rubbers to client drawings or specifications using a range of production methods. Manufacturing to supplied drawings allows replication of specific profiles and fitment requirements. When providing specifications, include material preferences and intended operating conditions to assist in production planning. Our team is available to review drawings and advise on manufacturability and material choice if required.

What materials are available for glass rack profiles and how is selection determined?

A variety of materials are commonly used for glass rack profiles, including elastomers and thermoplastics suitable for cushioning and wear resistance. Material selection is determined by factors such as load characteristics, exposure to chemicals or UV, temperature range, and the required hardness or flexibility. Material choice affects durability, friction and compressibility, so selection should be based on the application environment. Contact our team for assistance in evaluating material options for specific operational requirements.

How should glass rack rubbers be maintained and when should they be replaced?

Routine maintenance involves regular inspection for wear, cuts, deformation or contamination, and cleaning with mild detergent and water where appropriate. Avoid aggressive solvents or abrasive cleaners that can degrade elastomers. Replace profiles that show visible damage, loss of resilience, or compromised fit to maintain effective glass rack protection. Keep replacement profiles matched to original drawings or specifications; our team can advise on condition assessment and recommend replacement options based on observed wear.
