Fuel and Solvent Resistant
EMI Fluorosilicones

Fluorosilicone conductive elastomers for fuel and solvent EMI gasket applications, including jet fuels and de-icing fluids amongst other harsh fluids.

Choose sheets, rolls, moldable compounds, extrusions, EMI O-rings, or EMI gaskets.  

Fluorosilicones for Fuel and Solvent Resistance plus EMI Shielding

SSP’s fuel and solvent resistant EMI fluorosilicones include a QPL certified MIL-DTL-83528, Type D elastomer and nickel-graphite materials in 50, 60, and 80 durometer (Shore A). There are also two silver-aluminum fluorosilicones, including a passivated product. Passivation increases the corrosion resistance of the electrically conductive metal particles.

Other EMI/RFI Shielding Materials

Fuel‑ and Solvent‑Resistant EMI Shielding FAQ

What makes an EMI/RFI shielding material fuel‑ and solvent‑resistant?

Fuel‑ and solvent‑resistant EMI materials use fluorosilicone binders that withstand exposure to fuels, oils, hydraulic fluids, solvents, and other aggressive chemicals. These materials maintain their mechanical properties and electrical conductivity even in harsh chemical environments.

Why choose fluorosilicone for EMI gaskets?

Fluorosilicone provides the same temperature stability and flexibility as silicone but adds exceptional resistance to fuels and solvents. This makes it ideal for aerospace, defense, automotive, and industrial systems where chemical exposure is unavoidable.

Do fuel‑ and solvent‑resistant EMI materials still provide strong shielding performance?

Yes. SSP’s fluorosilicone EMI materials are engineered to deliver reliable shielding effectiveness across a wide frequency range while maintaining chemical resistance and long‑term durability.

What types of conductive fillers are available in fuel‑resistant EMI materials?

SSP offers fluorosilicone EMI materials with nickel‑graphite, silver‑aluminum, silver‑copper, silver‑nickel, and nickel‑aluminum fillers. Each filler system provides different levels of conductivity, corrosion resistance, and galvanic compatibility.

Do fuel‑resistant EMI materials meet MIL‑DTL‑83528 requirements?

Several fluorosilicone EMI materials can meet or exceed MIL‑DTL‑83528 performance requirements depending on the filler system. SSP can help determine the best option for applications requiring both chemical resistance and MIL‑spec compliance.

Are fluorosilicone EMI materials available in sheets, rolls, and molded forms?

Yes. SSP supplies fuel‑ and solvent‑resistant EMI materials in sheet form, roll form, and moldable compounds for compression, transfer, and injection molding.

What applications benefit most from fuel‑ and solvent‑resistant EMI materials?

These materials are ideal for aerospace fuel systems, defense electronics, avionics, automotive powertrains, industrial equipment, and any environment where EMI gaskets may be exposed to fuels, oils, or solvents.

Can SSP customize fluorosilicone EMI materials?

Absolutely. SSP can tailor durometer, filler loading, thickness, color, and cure characteristics to meet specific electrical, mechanical, and chemical‑resistance requirements.
