Western Sealtech spliced & vulcanised seals are manufactured from precision-extruded elastomer profiles that are compression-molded into continuous, joint-free gaskets. Unlike adhesive-bonded joints, vulcanised splices achieve joint strength equal to or stronger than the parent material, ensuring leak-free performance, long service life, and reliability in applications where molded seals are impractical or impossible.
Spliced & Vulcanised Seals
Seamless, high-strength custom gaskets engineered for large perimeters, complex geometries, and critical sealing environments
.avif)
Seamless seals for oversized, complex, and high-risk applications
Key benefits
Unbreakable vulcanised joints
Compression-molded splices eliminate adhesive failure points, delivering joint strength comparable to the base elastomer.
Custom geometries & unlimited perimeters
Extruded profiles are joined into circular, rectangular, U-shaped, or complex frames for large doors, hatches, and enclosures.
Performance in extreme environments
Designed to maintain sealing integrity across wide temperature ranges, pressure fluctuations, and chemical exposure.
Types of Spliced & Vulcanised Seals
Spliced & vulcanised seals are classified by profile type and functional requirement to ensure correct sealing performance, durability, and installation reliability.

FAQs
How are vulcanised joints different from adhesive splices?
Vulcanised joints are formed by compression molding with uncured elastomer, creating a homogeneous bond stronger than adhesive-joined seals, which are prone to delamination.
Can you manufacture seals for very large or non-standard perimeters?
Yes. Spliced & vulcanised seals are ideal for oversized perimeters and complex geometries where molding is impractical.
Do vulcanised joints create weak points in sealing?
No. Properly vulcanised joints eliminate weak points and provide uniform sealing force across the entire perimeter
Which materials are suitable for spliced & vulcanised seals?
Common materials include silicone, EPDM, FKM, NBR, sponge elastomers, and fabric-reinforced compounds based on application needs.
Are these seals suitable for pressure or vacuum applications?
Yes. When designed correctly, vulcanised seals perform reliably under pressure, vacuum, and cyclic loading conditions.
Do you support cleanroom and validation requirements?
Yes. Materials and processes support FDA, USP Class VI, and cleanroom-controlled manufacturing when required.
What is the typical turnaround time?
Standard profiles are produced quickly, with prototypes typically available within 1–2 weeks depending on geometry and material.
