What are End Caps and what are they used for?

End caps are used as protective covers at the end of an object to provide protection against damage or dirt accumulation on pipes, furniture, and other applications.

They are used in many different industries and applications, including automotive, manufacturing, and construction. End caps can be made from different materials and come in various sizes to meet different needs and requirements.

Types of end caps

Types of end caps in our huge range include tube end caps, rubber end caps, plastic end caps, push fit end caps, and threaded caps. Each of these types of end cap, provides different benefits and is used in various industries and applications. Essentra Components offers a wide range of end caps that cater to different needs and requirements.

For instance, protective end caps provide protection against damage or dirt accumulation on the object they are placed on, in addition to providing a smooth finish. Tube end caps are useful for protecting the ends of tubes, while push fit end caps and threaded caps provide safety and security in industrial applications.

End cap materials
