Splicing Capability

We Offer Improved Splicing Capability
for Solid and Hollow Profile Seals

Precision extrusion and spliced products offer an ideal, cost-effective sealing solution for many applications. These include low-closure force seals, large diameter profiles that cannot be molded, hollow cross-section cord or requirements for non-standard O-rings and other extruded profiles with an inside diameter larger than 2.500 inches.

Product Capability:
Splicing and fabrication capabilities continue to expand:

• Size Capability
  • Cross-sections: .040” to 1.00”
  • Spliced I.D.’s: 2.500” and larger
    
• Materials
  • Silicone
  • Fluorosilicone
  • EDPM
  • Fluorocarbon
  • Nitrile
    
    Durometer’s range from 40 to 90 Shore A
    
• Profile Cross-Sections
  Valley Seal offers an almost unlimited variation of cross- section profiles. Shown below are only a few of the more common extruded profile configurations currently available.

If you don’t see the profile you require here, Call Valley Seal and we’ll be happy to custom design one to suit your needs.

Target Markets and Potential Applications

• Outdoor Electronics & Communications Enclosures
• Electronic Equipment Transit Cases
• Handheld Electronics & Communication Devices
• Semiconductor Applications

• Low-closure Force Sealing Requirements
• Automotive Applications
• Non-Standard O-rings & Hollow O-rings with
  I.D.’s greater than 2.500”

Features and Advantages of Spliced Products

1. Superior hot vulcanization capability (High bond integrity).
2. No tooling required for standard O.D. / I.D. combinations.
3. Exclusive use of quality, sealing-grade materials.
4. Ease of adjusting closure force by adjustment of cross-section design, C/S I.D. or durometer.
5. Hollow cross-sections are excellent replacements for foam or sponge gaskets, offering superior compression set resistance.
6. Interference-fit designs with asymmetrical solid or hollow cross-sections for ease of assembly in seal grooves without adhesives or mechanical retainers.
7. Low-cost option for static face or radial face seal O-rings over 2.500” I.D.
8. Can be used in non-standard grooves.
