Cold Spliced EMI O-Rings vs. Vulcanized EMI O-Rings
Compare cold spliced EMI O-Rings with vulcanized EMI O-rings and make the right choice for your EMI shielding project. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) extrudes EMI elastomers into solid cords that come in various stock sizes. Die cutters and other gasket fabricators can convert these cords into bonded O-rings that provide EMI shielding and environmental sealing. […]
ASTM E595 Low Outgassing Silicones for EMI Gaskets
SSP makes ASTM E595 low outgassing silicones for high-vacuum environments such as outer space. Outgassing in high-vacuum environments can disrupt electronic equipment and optical devices. For example, materials that release high levels of airborne molecular contaminants (AMCs) can degrade the performance of sensors and circuit boards in satellites. Because outer space is a vacuum, engineers […]
Larger EMI Silicone Sheet Sizes and Continuous Rolls
Looking for larger EMI silicone sheet sizes? SSP offers 10-in. x 20-in. EMI sheet molds in thicknesses of .032, .062, and .093 inches. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) supplies EMI shielding elastomers as fully-cured, conductive sheet stock and as continuous rolls. For gasket designers, converters, and fabricators, SSP’s tooling and molding capabilities mean shorter lead times […]
Flame Retardant EMI Gaskets
Flame retardant EMI gaskets from SSP use alternatives to Parker Chomerics 6372 that we developed at our Made in USA manufacturing facility. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) supplies flame-retardant shielding silicones that meet the requirements of the UL-94 V1 flammability standard. SSP’s electrically-conductive elastomers are filled with nickel-graphite particles for resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and […]

Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) supplies low-durometer silicones for medical, military, aerospace, and other demanding applications. These softer elastomers are available in durometers ranging from 10 to 30 (Shore A). Products include platinum-cured, medical-grade silicones; various military and aerospace silicones; […]
Conductive Fabric EMI Silicone Gaskets
SSP makes conductive fabric EMI silicone gaskets that use combine our shielding silicones with an electrically conductive fabric for greater tear resistance. Silicone rubber that’s filled with metal or metal-coated particles provides excellent EMI/RFI shielding and environmental sealing. The heavy loading of metal fills increases electrical conductivity, but can reduce tensile strength and Z-axis compression. […]
MIL-R-25988 Fluorosilicones
SSP supplies MIL-R-25988 fluorosilicones for military gaskets. Choose specification-grade fluorosilicone elastomers in various types, classes, and grades. MIL-DTL-25988CÂ is a U.S. military specification (MIL-SPEC) for fluorosilicones that resist oil and fuel. This MIL-SPEC divides compliant compounds into two classes: Type 1 for O-Rings, and Type 2 for molded parts, sheets, strips, and extruded shapes. Within each […]
EMI Gasket Material Selection White Paper
SSP’s EMI Gasket Material Selection White Paper is the resource that you need to understand particle-filled silicones for environmental sealing and EMI shielding. Electronic designers need gaskets that resist electromagnetic interference (EMI), support electrical conductivity, and provide environmental sealing. In the automotive, aerospace, communications, and medical device industries, EMI gaskets made of particle-filled silicones are […]
