Spiral Splicing Options

Due to the rising demand and to meet the varying requirements of customer programs Handa has created three standard options to treat the splicing of material in our spool selection. These options apply to the following products:

  • Handa Spira-Shield
  • Handa Quick-Shield
  • Handa Ultra Quick-Shield
  • Handa Flexi-Shield products

OPTION 1 – DEFAULT

This option will be the default option unless the customer specifies an alternate option. The spiral gasket is wound as long as possible in production, however, stoppages are always a possibility. If a discontinuity occurs, the ends of the gasket are joined together by winding one end inside the other and adhered with an adhesive (Loctite 404). This joint is guaranteed to hold up to 30% stretch of the material without affecting the form, fit or function in typical installations.

OPTION 2 – WELDED SEAL

We not only offer a diverse range of products but also extend professional welding services to fulfill customers’ individualized and customized demands. Customers can handle splicing flexibly based on the application scenario. Whether it is for an enhanced structure or adaptive installation, we can provide precise welding solutions. Due to highly customized production, the delivery time may be extended. Please understand and plan the project timeline in advance. We will guarantee the coexistence of quality and efficiency and facilitate the smooth progress of the project.

OPTION 3 – MARKED SPLICE LOCATIONS

This option still has the gasket material splices, however the location of the splices are marked using a bright tape around the material. This allows customers to treat the splice locations as their application requires. Please note, lead times may be increased due to having to create the material specifically for each order.

OPTION 4 – CONTINUOUS WINDING

Continuous winding provides the gasket material without any spliced in the lengths provided. Please be advised continuous winding can only be provided in limited lengths and will require additional fees due to the higher scrap rate, and additional handling and packaging requirements. Additional lead times will be required as the material will be manufactured on a per-job basis.
