Often we get a request for a non-standard o-ring. Vulcanizing is the solution. Actually there are two ways to turn o-ring cord into an o-ring.

1) Cold Splice

2) Hot Vulcanizing

Cold splicing is generally done in the feild and is best only for "static" seals. It works well especially well when done with our cyanoacrylate adhesive we call Turbofuse.

Vulcanizing is recommended for dynamic seals. Vulcanizing provides a stronger bond at the joint than anywhere else on the oring, making the vulcanization the point the last point to fail.

Fabricating special size rings is one of our specialties at American Seal and Packing. With our large assortment of sizes and materials of cord stock and extrusions, we can fabricate virtually any size ring 2" I.D. and larger. The latest in splicing equipment and factory trained personnel assures the best spliced joint possible, plus fast service.

If your specialized ring has a round, square, or rectangular cross section, give us a call. There is a good possibility we'll have the cord stock in inventory and can fabricate and ship your order immediately.

From Cord stock we vulcanize o-rings from: Buna-N (Nitrle), Viton, Neoprene, Aflas, EPDM, Rubber and Silicone.
