GORE EMI Gasket Materials Have Replacements
Discontinued GORE EMI gasket materials (GS2100, GS5200, GS8000) have replacements from SSP. Rubber & Plastics News (RPN) is reporting how Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) is providing alternatives to discontinued GORE® EMI shielding and increasing production of EMI gasket materials and USP Class VI silicones for the fight against COVID-19. Mike Scott, RPN News Correspondent, covers […]
GORE EMI Shielding Alternatives
GORE EMI shielding alternatives from SSP can be used instead of discontinued GORE GS2100 and GS5200. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) has published new technical data sheets (TDS) and an outgassing report for SSP-502-40-V0 and SSP-502-60-V0, alternatives to discontinued GORE® EMI gasket materials. Last November, W.L. Gore distributed an end-of-life notification about GORE® GS2100, GS5200, and GS8000, flame-resistant […]
Vulcanized EMI O-Rings vs. Compression Molded EMI O-Rings
Compare vulcanized EMI O-rings vs. compression molded EMI O-rings and make the right choice for your next EMI shielding project. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) is manufacturing vulcanized and molded O-rings that provide shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). The addition of our third extruder has allowed us to expand our bonded O-ring manufacturing […]
Ten Things You May Not Know About SSP
How well do you know your suppliers? At a time when many companies want to reduce supply chain risk, it pays to learn more about your partners. For over 30 years, Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) has been known for making “silicones that work”. Our customers like the speed, flexibility, and service that they receive from […]
SSP Silicone Septa and REACH Compliance
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes standard and custom septa, septum cap assemblies and cap mats for liquid and gas chromatography, EPA/VOA testing, laboratory diagnostics, and chemical packaging. Customers value the cleanliness and purity of our silicone septa, especially during low-level analysis using liquid chromatography (LC) or gas chromatography (GS) with mass spectrometry (MS). Customers also […]
USP Class VI Silicones White Paper
SSP’s USP Class VI Silicones white paper describes platinum-cured silicones with low levels of extractables for biocompatibility. USP Class VI silicones meet stringent biocompatibility requirements that are defined by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). USP Class VI requires a systemic toxicity test, an intracutaneous test, and […]
GORE EMI Gasket Alternatives: EMI Shielding Effectiveness
GORE EMI gasket alternatives from SSP have proven levels of EMI shielding effectiveness and are flame retardant. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) has published a new shielding effectiveness report and technical data sheets (TDS) for offsets to discontinued GORE® EMI gasket materials. Last year, W.L. Gore provided an end-of-life notification about two flame-resistant EMI shielding materials: […]
UAV EMI Shielding Provides Enclosure Sealing
EMI shielding for drones and UAVs protects sensitive circuits against electromagnetic interference. Typically, these circuits are part of printed circuit boards (PCBs) that are housed within box-like enclosures.
EMI Connector Gaskets and MIL-DTL-83528 Part Numbers
EMI connector gaskets provide environmental sealing and shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) in electrical and electronic connectors. They are cut or molded from electrically-conductive elastomers and designed to fill small gaps between uneven connector surfaces. EMI silicones for connector gaskets are soft enough to support compression and can provide proven levels of EMI shielding while […]
EMI Gasket Costs and Silver Prices
EMI gasket costs and silver prices are often related, but they don’t have to be. Nickel-graphite silicones provide an alternative. If silver prices keep increasing, the silver-coated particles that are used in some EMI gasket materials will become more expensive. How expensive these shielding elastomers get is a question that gasket designers and buyers cannot […]
