Every parent knows this fear — a child is running, playing, laughing… and suddenly, a sharp metal edge stands between joy and injury. Hospitals in Pakistan treat countless preventable cuts and bruises every year caused by exposed metal furniture legs and unfinished steel edges at home, in schools, and in public places.
A small vinyl/rubber cap may look simple, but it silently protects families and workers from real danger — while also extending the life of furniture and equipment.
This is where MetalX steps in: industrial-grade safety protection made in Pakistan, trusted across homes, schools, hospitals, workshops, and even electronics and aquarium manufacturers.
✔ Why Exposed Metal Is a Hidden Hazard
Unfinished steel and hollow pipe ends create serious risks:
✔ Cuts, punctures, and scrapes from sharp corners
✔ Tripping injuries from unstable furniture legs
✔ Rust stains and dirty marks on walls & floors
✔ Clothing, uniforms & school bags getting torn
✔ Kids bumping into bed frames or play structures
✔ Hospital carts damaging tiles and equipment
These accidents feel minor until they happen to someone you love.
✔ One Small Fix — A Huge Safety Upgrade
A snug-fit vinyl / rubber cap covers:
✔ Sharp edges
✔ Hollow tube openings
✔ Rough metal ends
✔ Rust-prone unfinished surfaces
With a simple, affordable installation:
❌ No tools needed
❌ No drilling
❌ No glue
✔ Just push — perfectly sealed protection
And it works silently every day.
🛑 Why Cheap Plastic Caps Fail (Especially in Pakistan)
Most low-quality caps available in local markets:
✘ Stretch-fit → loosen over time
✘ Thin walls → tear or crack easily
✘ No UV protection → sunlight destroys them
✘ Poor-quality polymers → turn brittle fast
✘ Dust and humidity → cause early slipping
Industrial use? Almost impossible.
Once they pop off… the danger returns immediately.

✔ Thick-wall construction for impact absorption
