Nickel Mesh EMI Silicone Material for Shielding Gaskets
Particle-filled silicones provide environmental sealing, electrical conductivity, and resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and/or radio frequency interference (RFI). These conductive shielding elastomers are filled with metal or metal-coated particles, and are supplied as sheets, rolls, or ready-to-mold compounds for the cost-effective fabrication of silicone shielding gaskets. Engineers use particle-filled silicones in numerous shielding and sealing […]
EMI Gasket Rolls for Lower Costs and Shorter Lead Times
SSP supplies EMI gasket rolls for lower costs and shorter lead times. This telecommunications case study explains. A telecommunications company urgently needed EMI gaskets to seal and insulate enclosures for a new WiFi module. The timeline was tight, the cost-pressure was great, and the part volumes were high. The telecom company specified an electrically-conductive elastomer […]
MIL-DTL-83528 EMI Gasket Materials from SSP
Defense contractors need military gaskets that conduct electricity, resist electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI), and provide environmental sealing. Particle-filled silicones can meet project requirements, and also comply with MIL-DTL-83528, a U.S. military specification (MIL-SPEC) for electrically-conductive elastomeric shielding gaskets used in EMI and RFI suppression. MIL-DTL-83528 Gasket Materials Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) […]
Platinum Cured Medical Silicones
Platinum cured medical silicones from SSP meet USP Class VI requirements. Medical device and medical equipment manufacturers need high-purity silicones for tubing, cables, seals, gaskets, and other components. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) supplies an ultra-clean line of platinum-cured silicones that are FDA, USP Class VI, and RoHS compliant. SSP-2390 Series silicones are also cost-effective and […]
