Four Lessons from MD&M West 2024
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) attended MD&M West 2024 last week and learned four valuable lessons that we’d like to share with you. Whether you’re a fabricator, a medical device manufacturer, or simply curious about the world’s large medical design and manufacturing event, we want to share our knowledge so that you can put it to […]
RF Gasket Basics
An RF gasket combines environmental sealing and insulation with shielding against radio frequency interference (RFI). RF gaskets are used in applications where radio frequency (RF) signals are present, such as communication devices, military equipment, medical devices, and automotive electronics. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes EMI/RFI shielding silicones and can fabricate mold or cut the RFI […]
SSP to Join MD&M West and Pittcon in February
Ballston Spa, NY, USA, January 10, 2024 – Specialty Silicone Products (SSP), a leading manufacturer of Advanced Materials and Laboratory Products, will travel to the West Coast for two major tradeshows next month. From February 6-8, SSP will exhibit at MD&M West at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California in Booth #834. Then, from […]
Electric Vehicle EMI Shielding
SSP make electric vehicle EMI shielding (EV EMI shielding) as ready-to-fabricate EMI silicones and ready-to-install EMI gaskets. Electric vehicles (EVs) are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) because they put significant amounts of electrical and electronic content into confined spaces. The radiated and conductive emissions from these systems can disrupt circuits and result in conditions that […]
Three Predictions for Advanced Materials in 2024

SSP Prepares for Potential PFAS Restrictions
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, more commonly called PFAS, are a category of widely used chemicals with components that break down very slowly over time. They are often called “forever chemicals” because once they are in the environment they tend to stay there. PFAS can be found in a wide range of consumer products like waterproof […]
Flash Cut EMI Gaskets
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) flash cuts EMI gaskets from the EMI/RFI shielding silicones that we make at our ISO 9001:2015 facility. We can supply you standard or custom products, and in lower minimum order quantities (MOQs) than you can get elsewhere. What are Flash Cut EMI Gaskets? Flash cut EMI gaskets use CNC equipment to cut […]
Molded EMI Gaskets
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) molds EMI gaskets from the EMI/RFI shielding silicones that we make at our ISO 9001:2015 facility. We can supply you standard or custom products, and in lower minimum order quantities (MOQs) than you can get elsewhere. What are Molded EMI Gaskets? Molded EMI gaskets are produced using compression molding, a process […]
