EMI O-Ring Case Study
SSP’s EMI O-Ring Case Study compared molded to bonded products. Which type do you need? EMI O-rings that are made of electrically conductive silicones combine reliable environmental sealing and broad temperature resistance with proven levels of shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI). These donut-shaped gaskets can be cut and bonded from extruded cord stock or molded […]
MIL-DTL-25988 Fluorosilicone Case Study
SSP’s MIL-DTL-25988 fluorosilicone case study explains why you can’t afford to wait for materials that don’t provide batch-level proof. MIL-DTL-25988 fluorosilicone gaskets are used in aerospace applications that require proven resistance to jet fuel and lubricating oils. They are fabricated from sheet or roll materials or produced from ready-to-mold compounds. Because these military-grade fluorosilicones are […]
Molded EMI Frame Gaskets Case Study
SSP’s Molded EMI Frame Gasket Study explains a defense contractor reduced material waste and saved time and money. Frame gaskets for EMI shielding are flat, four-sided parts with an open area in the middle. Whether they’re square or rectangular, these gaskets resemble a picture frame and are made of particle-filled silicones that provide shielding against […]

40 Durometer EMI Silicone Nickel-Graphite
SSP supplies a 40 durometer EMI silicone nickel-graphite that uses silicone rubber as the base elastomer and nickel-graphite for a cost-effective, electrically-conductive fill material. SSP502-40 is a 40-durometer EMI silicone that’s filled with nickel-coated graphite particles. It’s electrically conductive, environmentally resistant, and provides proven levels of shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI). SSP502-40 is Made in […]
Silicone Supplier vs. Silicone Strategic Partner
Do you need a silicone supplier or a silicone strategic partner? Read this article for yourself and decide. Download This Article as a White Paper How often have you communicated with your suppliers this year? If your company is like most, you’ve probably exchanged more emails and had more phone calls (or Zoom calls) than […]
Low Durometer Aerospace Silicones
SSP makes low durometer aerospace silicones, including a product that meets A-A-59588, Class 2A and 2B, Grade 25. Three Low Durometer Aerospace Silicones SSP-2390 silicones can be used in military or aerospace applications that require softer compounds for demanding applications. Two additional low Shore A products for military and aerospace applications are also available. SSP-390 is […]
Low Durometer EMI Shielding Silicones
SSP makes low durometer EMI shielding silicones for EMI gaskets that are softer and more compressible. SSP-2426-30 is a 30-durometer, electrically-conductive elastomer that’s softer than many other EMI materials. Filled with silver-aluminum particles, this shielding silicone proves that metal-filled conductive silicones don’t have to be “too hard”. Plus, this ultra-soft silicone is a true 30-durometer (Shore […]
Low Durometer Medical Silicones
SSP makes low durometer medical silicones that are soft and compressible. They’re also USP Class VI compliant. The SSP-2390 family of products includes platinum-cured silicones in 10, 20, and 30 durometer (Shore A). These translucent, heat-cured elastomers are FDA CFR 177.2600, USP Class VI, and RoHS compliant. Tensile strength, elongation, Tear B, and specific gravity […]
Cargo Aircraft Silicones
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes cargo aircraft silicones that meet aerospace and military specifications. Cargo flights are returning to pre-pandemic levels according to Jeffries Equity Research, a global investment banking firm. To keep up with demand, airlines are converting widebody passenger jets to freighters. They’re also buying new cargo aircraft even though asset prices are significantly […]
