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.

Features and Advantages of Spliced Products

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