EMI Gasket Costs for Military Projects
EMI gasket costs don’t have to rise because of the high price of silver. 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
ASTM E595 Low Outgassing Silicones
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes ASTM E595 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 and download the results. Pacific Testing Laboratories of Valencia, California has tested numerous EMI/RFI silicones and Exova OCM has tested […]
GORE GS2100 and GS5200 EMI Shielding Replacements
SSP provides alternatives to GORE GS2100 and GORE GS5200, both of which have been discontinued. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) offers replacements for Gore’s discontinued line of EMI shielding materials. Our products provide UL 94V0 flame resistance and are low outgassing. W.L. Gore & Associates discontinued two well-known shielding, gasketing, and grounding products: GS2100 and GS5200. If […]
GORE EMI Shielding Alternatives
GORE EMI shielding alternatives from SSP can be used instead of discontinued GORE GS2100 and GS5200. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) has technical data sheets (TDS) and an outgassing report for SSP-502-40-V0 and SSP-502-60-V0, alternatives to discontinued GORE® EMI gasket materials. Several years ago, W.L. Gore distributed an end-of-life notification about GORE® GS2100, GS5200, and GS8000, flame-resistant […]
Discontinued Gore EMI Gasket Materials Have Replacements
Discontinued GORE EMI gasket materials (GS2100, GS5200, GS8000) have replacements from SSP. Rubber & Plastics News (RPN) is reporting how Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) is providing alternatives to discontinued GORE® EMI shielding and increasing production of EMI gasket materials and USP Class VI silicones for the fight against COVID-19. Mike Scott, RPN News Correspondent, covers […]
Conductive EMI O-Rings: Material Selection, Fabrication and Applications
SSP fabricates conductive EMI O-rings from the EMI silicones that we fabricate. Learn about material selection, fabrication methods, and EMI O ring applications. Conductive EMI O-rings are electrically-conductive gaskets that provide reliable shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI), disturbances that can disrupt electronic components, modules and systems. These EMI shielding gaskets are made of specialty silicones […]
