Where EMI Gaskets and EMI O-Rings are Replacing Standard Seals
EMI gaskets and EMI O-rings are replacing standard elastomeric seals in an increasing number of applications. Often, it’s because designers didn’t anticipate that their products would fail EMI testing. Some of these non-compliant devices represent innovative technologies, but others are next-generation versions of existing products with higher-than-expected RF emissions. When standard or legacy seals are […]
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 […]
