The Hidden Danger: Weak Splice Joints
When it comes to rubber conveyor belts, the splice joint is often the weakest point. If it lacks strength and durability, the result can be catastrophic failure. But why is the splice joint so critical? The answer lies in the physical properties of the rubber. For a splice to perform at its best, the splicing material must closely match the characteristics of the belt itself — from the outer cover rubber to the skim (inter-ply) rubber. Each component serves a unique function, and compatibility is key to creating a seamless bond. Steelcord splicing is now easier than ever. Dunlop pre-formed splicing kits provide improved splice efficiency. They also reduce splice time, which means fewer problems related to technical breakdowns. Pre-formed kits will also improve the post-splice lifetime of your belt since the exact amount of rubber needed is applied.
The Formula for a Perfect Bond
For a splice joint to thrive, the splicing materials must not only match the physical properties of the belt but also bond effortlessly with both the carcass and the transition areas. This ensures strong adhesion and maximizes the belt’s operational efficiency. Using splicing materials from the original manufacturer is often the best way to guarantee this perfect match.

The Fenner Dunlop Splicing Materials Range
Dundisol
Our hot vulcanization solution is engineered to deliver superior tack characteristics, ensuring seamless splice assembly. When paired with Dunlofol, Dundisol achieves exceptional adhesion levels, making it the ultimate choice for robust splicing.
Dunlofol
This uncured inter-ply rubber is designed to precisely rebuild the belt carcass during splicing. Applied to the splice steps, Dunlofol ensures structural integrity and durability.
Duncover
For restoring the belt’s outer layers, uncured cover rubber is used on both the top and bottom of the splice. Duncover guarantees a flawless finish and restores the belt’s cover area to its original strength.
Uncured Rubberized Fabrics
These fabrics provide versatile solutions for:
- Reinforcements in heavy-duty and high-tensile splices
- Spot repairs for localized belt damage
- Specialty splices, including UsFlex finger splices
Enerkol Cold Glue & Hardener Cement
For cold splicing of textile carcass belts, Enerkol delivers unmatched performance. Designed for belts with abrasion-resistant rubber covers, it ensures reliable and efficient bonding. Enerkol also excels as a bonding glue for pulley lagging when used with a special steel primer.
