Plastic Caps

 (20 product groups)

What are plastic end caps?

A plastic end cap is used to protect or cover the exposed ends of a pipe or tube. They are usually made of flexible and durable plastic, such as PVC, and come in different sizes and a choice of shape and colour.

End caps provide excellent protection to the ends of pipes and tubes from dirt, debris, and water, as well as keep the ends from spreading or snagging on other objects. They offer great product protection to your applications and are a durable solution that is extremely cost-effective.

For use across a whole host of applications in various industries, our large range features plastic protection caps, plastic end caps and thread protection caps such as EPDM caps, LDPE caps, HDPE caps, flexible PVC caps, nylon caps and silicone.

Expandable Masking Covers

In stock In production

Expandable Masking Covers are an ideal alternative to a more conventional cap when the part to cover has an awkward shape. The Masking Covers are expandable by stretching with an elasticated end or by stretching through the elasticity of the material. The elasticated cap makes it a looser hold and therefore is best for a general protection during transport and storage or light masking requirement.

The stretched material cap has a stronger hold on the part by gripping and therefore is best for application putting pressure on the part. Their softening point is at 90 degrees Celsius and they can be used up to 100 degrees Celsius.
