The Cord-Ring is a perfect alternative to substitute O-Rings in maintenance operations when required sizes are not standard. It is a round profile which two ends are bonded together with Loctite or warm-vulcanized.
What is O-Ring Cord used for?
O-ring cords are commonly used on non-moving machinery and static sealing applications to keep air, other gases and liquids from passing in or out of any given area. They are especially prevalent in pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
What is O-Ring cord stock?
Cord stock is O-Ring material, ready to be cut to create custom size O-Rings. There is a large selection of cross-sections available, and can be cut to any length you need or in standard put up lengths. We also Vulcanize O-rings in many sizes and compounds in house, if you know the O-ring size needed.
How do you bond O-Ring cord?
Be sure to use an appropriate glue for your O-ring material! For nitrile, a standard cyanoacrylate superglue will do the trick. My preference here is for Loctite’s Power Flex superglue. It’s a gel, which makes it considerably easier to apply to the end of the cord, plus it sets quickly and is very strong.
Can I remove umbilical cord clamp?
The clamp can be removed when the cord is completely dry. The cord usually falls off by itself in about 2 to 3 weeks. In some babies, it takes longer. Because the umbilical cord may be a place for infection to enter the baby’s body, it’s important to care for it correctly.
How do you remove the umbilical cord after birth?

- Keep the stump dry.
- Stick with sponge baths.
- Let the stump fall off on its own.
What can I use instead of an o-ring?
Alternatives to O-rings for static sealing
- Extruded and cut seal profiles. One alternative to O-rings are extruded and cut seal profiles.
- Rubber substitutes. O-rings are often made of rubber elastomers.
- Flange seals.
- Static radial seal.
- Axial face seals.
- Press-in-place seals.
- Composite sealing plates.
- Parker Hannifin.
Can you super glue an o-ring?
A spliced o-ring is when you take extruded o-ring cord stock, cut it to length, and then bond the two ends together with cyanoacrylate (Super Glue TM). Using the uncured compound mixed with adhesive gives you the best bond.
