From all the types of grommets out there, blind grommets are much different than others. The whole point of them is to blank off holes in metal panels, which is quite common in certain industries. They’re so convenient that you can find a size to accommodate your need. When it comes to the type of rubber used in the making of blind grommets, common materials include EPDM, NR, Silicone, NBR, and FKM. These materials are excellent in preventing abrasion, high and low temperatures, and more. This is all thanks to the excellent properties of the rubber material.When using blind grommets, you’re getting quite a lot in return. Apart from the obvious anti-abrasion benefits, blind grommets are commonly used across many industries as a means to stop vibration damage. The automotive industry is one of these industries that use plenty of blind grommets. Since the engine is the area where there’s plenty of vibration, we can use blind grommets to seal off wires and cables and protect them against vibration and abrasion. 

Blind grommets come in many shapes and sizes, and you can even get the one to specifically fit your needs. From smaller to quite larger ones, by simply following a size chart you can make the decision as to which one to get. The convenient thing about blind grommets is that they’re quite easy to use when it comes to sealing off pipes and other ends. You’d be surprised to find out just how easy adding one of these to the end of a pipe or hose really is. But to make sure it fits, you will need to measure the diameter of the pipe or hose. We mentioned that a size chart exists. You can use the size chart to calculate anything from the inside and outside diameters to the overall thickness of the blind grommet.
