Most silver-aluminum silicones are designed to meet U.S. military specifications. Consequently, they sacrifice higher electrical conductivity for greater elongation, tear strength, and other physical properties.
When designing electronics for demanding aerospace, military, medical, and industrial environments, standard elastomeric seals fall short. High-reliability electronics demand a single material that delivers dual
USA-Based Custom EMI Gasket Manufacturer & Elastomer Compounder Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) is a premier ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer of custom EMI gaskets, conductive elastomers,
How many advanced silicone materials have you seen? With SSP’s new touch brochure, you can see and hold samples of 22 different elastomers at the
Paul DiCaprio, former President of Specialty Silicone Products (SSP), has retired after a distinguished 21-year career with our company. Paul joined SSP in June 2005
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) has reduced its lead times for electrically conductive silicone extrusions to just 3 to 4 weeks. That’s significantly shorter than the
When elastomeric seals and gaskets come into contact with aggressive fluids—such as JP-8 jet fuel, Skydrol, or synthetic hydraulic fluids—one of the most common causes
When specifying seals, gaskets, and elastomeric components for defense and aerospace applications, standard commercial-grade silicones often fall short. Military platforms operate under severe environmental conditions,
When designing seals, gaskets, or O-rings for aggressive chemical environments, selecting the proper elastomer often comes down to two heavyweights: Fluorosilicone (FVMQ) and Fluorocarbon (FKM).
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) fabricates EMI gaskets for military electronics that need to meet MIL-DTL-83528 requirements for shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI). The Defense Logistics
