End plugs: Indispensable and versatile

End plugs play a crucial role in the world of components and constructions. They are used to seal openings in pipes or other structures and provide protection against contamination or damage. End plugs are available in various materials and shapes, which are selected depending on the area of application. Some of the most common materials are steel, V2A and V4A.

Steel end plugs

Steel is a preferred material for end plugs due to its high strength and durability. Steel plugs are ideal for applications that require high mechanical strength, such as in mechanical engineering. They are available in different versions.

V2A and V4A end plugs

The stainless steel variants V2A and V4A offer additional advantages over steel plugs. V2A is a stainless steel that is particularly resistant to corrosion. It is often used in areas where hygiene plays a major role, such as in the food industry or in medical technology. V4A, on the other hand, is even more resistant to corrosion and acids and is therefore often used in the chemical industry or in the maritime sector.

Semi-solid and solid: the versions

The semi-solid and solid versions refer to the design of the end plugs. Partially solid plugs have a partial cavity filling, which allows a certain degree of flexibility and therefore ensures good adaptation to the element to be sealed. Solid plugs, on the other hand, are completely filled and offer greater stability and compressive strength.

For gluing: The assembly

Gluing is a common method for installing sealing plugs. A special adhesive is used to fix the plug securely and permanently in place. This method is particularly popular as it enables quick and easy installation while ensuring high strength.

In summary, it can be said that end plugs play an essential role in many industries. Whether they are made of steel, V2A or V4A, in semi-solid or solid design, for gluing or push-fitting - there is a large selection of end plugs, enabling optimum adaptation to the respective application.
