Daemar

Standard doesn't always fit your application needs

Custom vulcanized O-Rings are often the fastest and most cost effective solution for static sealing applications requiring a non-standard diameter O-Ring. Vulcanized rings are produced from extruded elastomeric cord, cut to length and hot spliced using heated dies and heat sensitive bonding agents. The heated die provides consistent heat to help form a clean and visually appealing finish to the joint. Cold splicing is typically used on foam elastomers where heat would damage the material. » Learn More
