Caps for the outer cover and plugs for the inner seal offer optimum protection during storage, transportation, assembly or processing of your goods by sealing inner diameters and covering outer diameters.
They protect your sensitive components from dirt ingress, contamination or damage and are widely used in almost all branches of industry.
We offer short-term availability of a wide range of variants from a broad standard program.
Most of our plastic protection solutions are made from recycled materials, thus conserving naturally occurring resources.
Quickfacts Protective plugs and protective caps

Observe the following clamping dimensions: -
Protective plug Outer diameter - 0.1 - 0.8 mm larger than the hole to be protected
Protective caps Inner diameter - 0.2 - 1.0 mm smaller than the core diameter of the thread or the outer diameter of the pipe
Application areas
Due to the countless possible applications, protective caps and plugs must have a wide variety of geometries. Non-threaded versions are ideal for protecting protruding components (screw heads or nuts), as they are relatively easy to fit and can be removed again if necessary. Non-threaded plugs can be used permanently in drill holes or other openings, but are difficult to remove. Screw plugs or sealing screws are ideal here.
