MIL-DTL-461 Fluorosilicone Meets EMI Requirements
SSP’s MIL-DTL-461 fluorosilicone meets tough EMI shielding requirements and combines fuel and solvent resistance with low outgassing. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) is announcing that SSP-2551, a nickel-aluminum fluorosilicone that combines EMI shielding with fuel, solvent, and galvanic corrosion resistance, has been independently tested to 40 GHz and can be used with military electronic products that […]
5G EMI Gaskets for Telecommunications
5G EMI gaskets for telecommunications can use SSP2551, a nickel-aluminum EMI shielding fluorosilicone with strong environmental resistance. 5G telecommunications gaskets need reliable EMI shielding for electronic enclosure seams, power and signal panels, and connector backshells. As 5G networks proliferate, the isolation of sensitive circuits and electronic systems is becoming increasingly important, especially in urban environments. […]
ASTM E595 EMI Silicones are Low Outgassing
SSP makes ASTM E595 EMI silicones that are low outgassing. The ASTM E 595 standard was developed originally by NASA. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes low outgassing silicones and publishes the ASTM E595 test data that we receive from independent laboratories. All third-party test reports are available on SSP’s website so that you can view […]

Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes MIL-DTL-25988 fluorosilicones with a full certificate of analysis (COA) for each batch and with no extra testing fees or costs. Plus, SSP supplies these military and aerospace silicones in sheets, rolls, and ready-to-mold compounds with […]
Supplier Value and the Silicone Shortage
The continuing shortage of silicone rubber is forcing suppliers to have some challenging conversations with their customers. Whether it’s because of price, lead times, or a need to limit purchases, buyers are understandably concerned. Unfortunately, there aren’t any quick fixes. Today’s silicone shortage is expected to last for at least six months, and that’s without any additional […]
Military Connectors Use Conductive O-Rings
Military connectors need conductive O-rings that provide reliable levels of EMI shielding and resist compression set. EMI/RFI O-rings for military connectors are donut-shaped gaskets that combine reliable environmental sealing with proven levels of shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). They are not the same as flat, washer-style EMI gaskets. Rather, EMI/RFI O-rings are […]
MIL-DTL-83528 Type A EMI Fluorosilicone Added to QPL-83528
SSP’s MIL-DTL-83528 Type A EMI fluorosilcone has been added to QPL 83528. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) is announcing that SSP-2569-65, an EMI silicone filled with silver-copper particles, is now part of the Qualified Product List (QPL) for MIL-DTL-83528, Type A. In a July 22, 2021, letter, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) informed us that SSP-2569-65, a […]
eVTOL Aircraft EMI Gaskets
eVTOL aircraft EMI gaskets from SSP combine proven levels of EMI shielding with environmental resistance. Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft need reliable shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and dependable environmental sealing. Although the brushless DC motors that are used with eVTOL aircraft do not generate significant amounts of EMI, these motors are not […]
