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 […]
A-A-59588 3B Silicones
This white paper describes SSP’s A-A-59588 3B silicones. These aerospace materials pass the DeMattia Flex Resistance Test. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) is announcing the release of a new white paper that describes the company’s 3B certified silicones with high flex-fatigue resistance. The Ballston Spa, New York (USA) manufacturer supplies military and aerospace silicones that meet the full […]
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 […]
