Spliced and Vulcanized O-Rings
When standard molded O-rings don’t meet your needs, you need an alternative solution. At Ace Seal, we manufacture custom spliced and vulcanized O-rings to meet your application requirements. These O-rings are engineered in custom diameters and cross-sections using high-quality elastomer cord to deliver reliable sealing performance.
With fast turnaround times, no tooling costs, and wide material availability, Ace Seal is your trusted source of custom sealing solutions. From prototyping to high-volume production, our precision manufacturing capabilities ensure we can supply you with exactly what you need.

What Are Spliced and Vulcanized O-Rings?
Spliced and vulcanized O-rings are named for their manufacturing process. Elastomer cord stock is cut (spliced) to a precise length, and the ends are permanently joined through a vulcanization process. This creates a continuous sealing ring designed to custom dimensions and applications. When molded O-rings are too expensive, too slow to produce, or not available in your required size, spliced and vulcanized O-rings are an ideal solution.
Benefits of Ace Seal Spliced and Vulcanized O-Rings
Spliced and vulcanized O-rings offer several advantages over molded O-rings. They can be manufactured to exact dimensions for inside diameter (ID), outside diameter (OD), and cross-sectional, with both metric and imperial sizes available. Additional benefits of spliced and vulcanized O-rings include:
- Fast turnaround: They have a faster production speed than custom molded alternatives, making them ideal for urgent replacements or prototypes.
- Broad material selection: They are manufactured in a wide range of materials, including Silicone, EPDM, Viton®/FKM, Buna-N/Nitrile, Neoprene, HNBR, Fluorosilicone, and FDA-compliant compounds.
- Budget-friendly: They are cost-effective for low-volume orders.
- Reliable static sealing performance: The vulcanized joints are highly precise and designed for sealing integrity, making them ideal for large-diameter static sealing applications.
