[singlepic id=76 w=320 h=200 float=left]One of our most popular products is the Scarf cut and hot vulcanised joined cord ring (‘SJV O-ring’).

Our factory has developed a very successful method of producing O-rings from extruded cord to a very high technical standard.

The most important factors affecting the quality of this product is the mechanical characteristics and dimensional accuracy of the extruded cord stock.  Care has been taken to select only compounds with a very low compression set, this is critical for producing high quality vulcanised joins.

Cord tolerances are tightly controlled and continuously checked using laser micrometers (tolerances are usually tighter than ISO 3302-1 E1).

Confidence in the tensile and tear strength is assured through regular destructive testing of the joins.
