“Entrematic conducted extensive testing on the UHWR fabric through an independent lab, and we’re excited to report that UHWR has been certified to withstand more than 40,000 abrasion cycles,” said Michael Brittingham, manager, marketing services. “This also means the UHWR fabric has up to 10 times the abrasion resistance of all of the competitive fabrics tested.”
Besides Ironside’s UHWR wear-resistant fabric, the IDS-HP dock seal includes the Serco Guardian head pad with a full-width UHWR wear face and 4-inch exposure wear panels where the toughest contact with trailers occurs. The head pad, which counters the prying effect of trailer movement and yard spotters, includes heat-sealed, full-length yellow guide stripes embedded in and welded (not sewn) into the UHWR fabric.
The Ironside IDS-HC dock seal features the same UHWR fabric along with an EFC (Encapsulated Foam Chambers) head curtain with 1-inch by 3-inch chambers that provide a superior seal for trailer tops. Structurally, both Ironside dock seals provide Serco’s roll-formed, galvanized steel framing that extends loading dock seal product life and is superior to wood construction. Also included is an endurance-tested foam core that’s continuously bonded to the frame surface with a flexible, non-flammable adhesive.
