Selecting the Best End Cap for Any Application By Kaim Stefen at 2012-08-30 05:04:29

An end cap can come by many names; it can be called a cover cap or valve cap. It is very useful on a myriad of applications. It is made from many types of materials such as rubber, PVC or vinyl to handle any protection or finishing needs.
Function An end cap of various materials is manufactured for specific purposes depending on the applications in the respective industries and commercial sectors. Even a home has many functions and uses of an end or cover cap.
Caps of low-density polyethylene, PVC or thermoplastic rubber are manufactured in large quantities as there are millions of applications. An end cap can be used to cover up a host of components to prevent dust or dirt from entering and destroying the contents.
End covers are effective and reliable in safely protecting products while adding aesthetics to the end portion of a product.
Characteristics The wide range of end covers may be quite daunting in selecting the best one for an application but one can determine the choice by identifying the need and product features. An end cap application can be selected based on the size, shape and color as well as material to provide the best of function.
There are certain defining characteristics that distinguish one end cap from another such as the features and functional specifications. Simple caps used to cover the end of a product are cheap and reliable in protecting the relevant equipment and machinery from damage, dust, dirt, corrosion or moisture during shipping or storage. However, simple covers are not suitable for more advanced applications such as an exposed pipe.
Design Range With the heavy demand from industries, commercial sectors and home consumers, there is a growing range of designs on caps to close the end of a product, equipment or machinery. It can be a tapered design to fit various diameters products or threaded/non-threaded caps that can be pushed on easily for a snug fit.
There is also the customized end cap which is specially made to fit a non-standard product. There may be a need to have a stretchable end cap that is resistant to acid; hence, caps manufacturers would design one of thermoplastic rubber which is acid resistant with higher stretch ability to fit larger diameters snuggly. Applications that require high temperature masking would need an end cap that can take on high temperatures. The vinyl end cap is a strong favorite.
