FDA Silicone for Food Contact and Medical Applications
SSP makes FDA silicone materials for food contact and medical applications. Our SSP2390 series elastomers also meet USP Class VI and RoHS requirements. They are platinum-cured for low levels of extractables. What is FDA Silicone? FDA silicone refers to a type of silicone that meets the safety and quality standards set by the U.S. Food […]
EMC Gaskets for EMI Shielding and Electromagnetic Compatibility
SSP makes EMC gaskets for EMI shielding and electromagnetic compatibility. Learn how an EMC gasket is made and used. Electronic devices are becoming smaller, faster, and more interconnected. As a result, protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) is becoming increasingly important. One of the most common and effective solutions for preventing EMI problems is by using […]
EMI Connector Gaskets and MIL-DTL-83528 Part Numbers
EMI connector gaskets provide environmental sealing and shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) in electrical and electronic connectors. They are cut or molded from electrically-conductive elastomers and designed to fill small gaps between uneven connector surfaces. EMI silicones for connector gaskets are soft enough to support compression and can provide proven levels of EMI shielding while […]
Conductive Gaskets and EMI Shielding
Conductive gaskets can provide electrical and/or thermal conductivity. Electrical conductivity is a measure of the amount of electrical current that a gasket material can carry. The unit of measure is Siemens per meter (S/m). Thermal conductivityis a measure of the amount of thermal energy (i.e., heat) that a gasket material can carry. The unit of […]
Chomerics EMI Gasket Alternatives from SSP
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes EMI gasket materials that you can use as alternatives to CHO-SEAL® materials from Parker Hannifin. The table shows when SPP products are offsets.
UAV EMI Shielding for Drones
EMI shielding for drones and UAVs protects sensitive circuits against electromagnetic interference. Typically, these circuits are part of printed circuit boards (PCBs) that are housed within box-like enclosures.
Chomerics 6502 Alternative Resists Galvanic Corrosion
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) supplies a nickel-aluminum silicone that provides EMI shielding, resists galvanic corrosion, and offers an offset to Chomerics 6502.

Silicones for Space Technology: Gasket Materials for Growing Markets
Silicones for space technology are enabling applications ranging from satellite services and space exploration to Earth observation, defense and security, and scientific research. From satellites and ground stations to rockets, spacecraft, and launch services, Tier 1 suppliers like Space X, Blue Origin, and the major defense contractors need silicone gaskets made from specialized materials. For […]
RFI Shielding Materials vs. EMI Shielding Materials
SSP makes EMI/RFI shielding silicones and fabricates EMI/RFI gaskets. What’s the difference between RFI shielding materials and EMI shielding materials? RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) materials and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) materials both serve to protect electronic devices from external interference or prevent devices from emitting unwanted signals. However, there are some distinctions between the two. RFI […]
