Three EMI Shielding Elastomers
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes a variety of EMI shielding elastomers and shares complete product information, including independent test results, on our website. SSP’s electrically conductive silicones and fluorosilicones are filled with silver-coated or nickel-graphite particles and supplied as sheets, rolls, extrusions, ready-to-mold compounds, and fabricated products. Here are three EMI shielding elastomers that are […]
How to Cut EMI Gasket Costs for Military Projects
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) is enabling defense contractors to reduce EMI gasket costs without compromising quality or performance. In addition to cost-effective nickel-graphite materials, SSP provides molded or bonded EMI frame gaskets that maximize yields and reduce waste. SSP also makes continuous rolls that are less expensive to produce and faster to fabricate into finished […]
Reduce EMI Gasket Costs Without Hurting Performance
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) can help military contractors to reduce EMI gasket costs without sacrificing quality or hurting performance. As efforts to cut government spending grow, more military projects are looking for an alternative supply of EMI shielding materials in order to reduce program costs. If you’re part of the defense supply chain, are you […]
Conductive Silicone Rubber
Conductive silicone rubber is a special type of silicone material that can conduct electricity. Normally, silicone is an electrical insulator, meaning that it doesn’t let electricity flow through it. When silicone is mixed with electrically conductive particles, however, the resulting compound becomes able to carry electrical current. Applications for conductive silicone rubber include: EMI/RFI Shielding […]
EMI Gasket Manufacturers: How They Differ
EMI gasket manufacturers can fabricate a range of products from electrically conductive silicones. That’s important since different challenges with environmental sealing and EMI shielding require different solutions. For example, industrial robots require molded or bonded EMI O-rings that fit into a groove. Enclosures may require flat EMI gaskets that are die-cut or flash-cut instead. There […]
Gore Gasket Replacements for EMI Shielding
SSP makes offsets for discontinued GORE gasket materials for EMI shielding. Use SSP502-40V0 instead of GS2100 Use SSP502-60-V0 instead of GS5200 Discontinued Gore Gasket Materials W.L. Gore & Associates has discontinued production of GS2100 and GS5200, two well-known GORE gasket materials for EMI shielding, gasketing, and grounding. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes proven alternatives to […]
Shielding Gaskets Explained
SSP makes shielding gaskets that provide shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI) with environmental sealing. We make our EMI gaskets from the EMI silicones and fluorosilicones that we produce at our Ballston Spa, New York (USA) manufacturing facility. What are shielding gaskets? Shielding gaskets are used to block EMI and RFI […]
Conductive Elastomers Explained
SSP makes electrically conductive elastomers that provide EMI shielding. They use silicone or fluorosilicone as the base elastomer and are filled with metallic particles. Contact us. What are Conductive Elastomers? Conductive elastomers combine the flexibility and resilience of elastomers (rubber-like polymers) with the electrical conductivity of metals or conductive polymers. This hybrid property set makes […]
