Splicing

Capabilities

Splicing

While splicing is a common capability that takes two pieces of material and joins them together, Rubbercraft's splicing methodology and know how sets us apart.

In our splicing operations, unless directed otherwise, we make our splicing compound from the same parent material out of which the basic part is made. This process provides exceptional chemical compatibility between the extruded or molded component and the splicing adhesive and delivers superior strength in that splice joint, typically the weakest part of the component.

Rubbercraft's experienced engineers consider a number of variables of whatever component or product needs to be spliced. Depending on the application, we ask the right questions to ensure the splicing operation will not have a detrimental effect on performance of the component, for example, the stiffness or compression strength, or a difference in the diameter of the cross-section. Our engineers ensure continuity of material and in the case of EMI materials, maintaining the conductivity across the splice zone.
