We've created a proprietary material for Jet Fuel Resistant form-in-place dispensing for use in aerospace and defense applications. Reach out to us for more information.

Our specialized splicing services allow us to create custom-sized o-rings and d-rings precisely tailored to your needs.

  • Profile cross-sectional sizes range from 0.078" – 1.181" (2mm – 25mm) in diameter
  • Minimum cut length (end to end) of 2" (50mm)
  • Custom splicing molds tailored to each profile
  • Compatible with o-ring and d-ring profiles (non-PSA layers)
  • Hand-cut extrusion to length typically within ±0.030" (0.762mm)
  • Quality validation through pull force testing for each new profile size
