ASTM E595 Outgassing and EMI Elastomers
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes conductive shielding elastomers with low levels of outgassing, the release of gases from a solid material such as silicone. Outgassing is a problem in high-vacuum environments such as outer space because released gases can condense upon and cloud sensitive devices such as camera lenses. SSP’s low-outgassing products meet ASTM E595 requirements for […]

SSP’s new white paper is available for immediate download and allows potential buyers to request samples. Click here to download the white paper and, optionally, to get […]
EMI Conductive Silicones with Third-Party Test Data
SSP supplies EMI conductive silicones and puts the third-party test data for these products online. How do you decide which EMI conductive silicones to specify and purchase? If you’re like most engineers, buyers, and product managers, you need to see third-party test data in order to trust a supplier’s products. Price, minimum order quantities (MOQs), and delivery […]
SSP Medical Silicones and REACH Compliance
Specialty Silicones Products (SSP) makes ultra-clean silicones that are used with medical devices and equipment. The base material in our SSP 2390-series elastomers meets USP Class VI requirements for biocompatibility. These platinum-cured silicones also meet FDA CFR 177.2600 requirements and comply with the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive. Increasingly, however, we’re also asked about […]
EMI RFI Silicones Catalog Available
SSP’s EMI RFI Silicones Catalog is available for download and contains product information for sheets, rolls, and extrusions. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) is announcing the release of its EMI RFI Silicones Catalog. This downloadable resource is available in PDF format and contains detailed information about all of SSP’s products along with part numbers for sheet […]
Nickel Aluminum EMI Gasket Materials
Compare nickel aluminum EMI gasket materials to silver aluminum silicones and fluorosilicones for EMI shielding. Nickel-aluminum shielding silicones offer greater price stability than silver-filled materials for EMI gaskets. Silver prices increased 45.4% last year and silver investments during the first week of 2021 rose 90% compared to the first seven days of 2020. That’s bad news for […]
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 […]
EMI O Ring Applications and SSP’s Advantages
EMI O ring applications solve the continuity issues in removable parts in an enclosure. They also seal gaps and improve enclosure reliability. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) occurs when external electromagnetic energy mixes with another electronic system and then disturbs the system’s original flow. EMI is one of the identified causes of the decrease in performance or, […]
