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 you’ve been buying these GORE® products for years, now is the time to find a new supplier you can trust.
GORE GS2100 and GS5200 Alternatives
SSP has received dozens inquiries and is working with former buyers of GORE® EMI shielding gaskets. Our ability to produce thin, low-outgassing, flame-resistant shielding elastomers is in high demand.
The following sections provide an overview of SSP’s replacement materials for discontinued GORE® EMI shielding.
GORE GS2100 Alternative
SSP502-40-V0 is a 40-durometer EMI silicone that’s filled with nickel-coated graphite particles and provides UL 94 V0 flame resistance. This SSP shielding silicone is recommended as a replacement material for GORE® GS 2100, a carbon-filled cellular PTFE with a 45-durometer hardness that meets UL-94-V0.
GORE 5200 Alternative
SSP-502-60-V0 is a 60-durometer EMI silicone that’s filled with nickel-coated graphite particles and provides UL-94 V0 flame resistance. It’s recommended as a replacement for GORE® GS2100, a nickel-filled cellular PTFE with a 60-durometer hardness that meets UL-94 V-0.
Corrosion-Resistant Shielding Silicones, Too
If corrosion resistant EMI shielding is important for your application, please see SSP2529 and SSP2551. Both of these flame-resistant, nickel-aluminum elastomers have been tested to MIL-DTL-83528 and are very conductive. SSP2529 is a 68-duromer silicone. SSP2551 is a 72-duromter fluorosilicone.
