Hi-Tech Seals offers spliced and vulcanized O-rings in standard and square profiles, multiple cross sections, and various materials. We also offer quad ring profiles upon request. Customers can purchase our O-ring cord in cut lengths, splicing kits or through our in-house splice and vulcanizing service.
Spliced and vulcanized O-rings are made by cutting extruded cord stock into lengths and then joining them together (splicing). The ends are spliced together by applying a heat-activated bonding agent and placing them in a die for a specific length of time. This process forms a molecular connection to achieve a strong bond.
Spliced and vulcanized O-rings are excellent replacements for any unique-sized static O-ring, withstanding up to approximately 1,200 psi. They are used in various industries including automotive, transportation, construction, food processing, power generation, and more.
