Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) will attend the GFA Fall Meeting from September 17 to 19, 2024 at the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans, Louisiana. Come meet Kevin Wickert, Sales and Marketing Manager, and Gary Falchi, Business Development Specialist, at this Gasket Fabricators Association (GFA) event in the Big Easy.
SSP will share valuable information and insights about these and other topics:
- How new PFAS regulations could affect your supply chain
- Where EMI/RFI shielding elastomers are replacing standard gasket materials
- Why you need COAs with military and aerospace grade elastomers
- When to partner with a strategic supplier and what to expect for value
Keep reading to learn more and contact us if you can’t make the GFA Fall Meeting but would like to discuss these and other topics with SSP.
PFAS Regulations
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, more commonly known as PFAS, are a category of widely used chemicals with components that break down very slowly over time. To date, three U.S. states have passed legislation that could ban PFAS in all products in the next 10 years. Learn how SSP has been preparing for potential PFAS restrictions on silicones.
EMI/RFI Shielding Elastomers
EMI gaskets and EMI O-rings are replacing standard elastomeric seals in more applications. Often, it’s because new or revised products unexpectedly failed EMI testing. Learn how gaskets fabricators can help solve customer challenges in industries ranging from automation and electronics to self-driving cars and delivery drones.
COAs for Military and Aerospace Grade Elastomers
A growing number of military and aerospace companies will no longer accept materials that were designed to meet a specification. Instead, these companies want proof that a batch meets the spec. SSP offers a full Certificate of Analysis (COAs) with each batch so that fabricators can see and share the test results with customers who are facing greater scrutiny about traceability.
Why You Need a Strategic Supplier
Gaset fabricators who partner with a strategic suppler gain access to material selection and design assistance, converting and fabricating advice, and technical education and training. Materials like EMI/RFI silicones and military and aerospace silicones aren’t commodity items, so why settle for a supplier that doesn’t offer greater value?
SSP hopes to see you at the GFA Fall Meeting in New Orleans from September 17th to 19th in New Orleans. Contact us to let you know you’ll be there, or if you can’t make the meeting but would still like to discuss key trends and topics with silicones.
