Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) will showcase its EMI shielding and military and aerospace silicones at G/C Expo 2026 from March 25-27, 2026, at The Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Florida. SSP’s elastomers meet tough specifications and are available as sheets, rolls, extrusions, and moldable compounds. SSP also fabricates EMI gaskets and EMI O-rings.
Gary Falchi, Business Development Specialist, and Taylor Smith, Research Development Chemist, will represent SSP. The Gasketing/Converting Expo (G/C Expo) is held once every two years and is where suppliers and fabricators connect. “There is no better, inter-industry networking event for companies in the gasket, converting, and material supplier market,” says Falchi.
G/C Expo is sponsored by the Gasket Fabricators Association (GFA), of which SSP is a member.
EMI Shielding Silicones
SSP’s EMI shielding silicones combine environmental sealing with shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Fabricators like SSP’s low minimum order quantities and short turnaround times. Products include offsets to Parker Chomerics CHO-SEAL, Nolato Jabar, and W.L. Gore materials.
The table below describes the types of shielding silicones that SSP offers.
Type | Description |
Meet MIL-DTL-83528’s lettered requirements and part of the M83528 Qualified Product List (QPL) | |
Resist galvanic corrosion and independently tested to MIL-DTL-83528 for shielding effectiveness | |
Provide reliable sealing under low closure force and available in durometers as low as 30 Shore A | |
Fluorosilicone shielding that resists fuels, solvents, and other harsh chemicals | |
Meet ASTM E595 requirements for low outgassing, a standard used by NASA | |
SSP’s most electrically conductive silicones and fluorosilicones | |
UL94V-0 flame rated materials that are offsets to discontinued GORE EMI shielding. | |
Reinforced with an inner layer of conductive fabric for tear resistance | |
Filled with cost-effective nickel-graphite particles instead of silver-coated ones. | |
EPDM shielding material with excellent ozone and UV resistance |
Military and Aerospace Silicones
SSP also makes non-conductive military and aerospace silicones that meet specifications from the U.S. military and the aerospace industry. These elastomers are available with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every batch. Products include non-conductive space-grade silicones.
The table below describes our aerospace and military silicones by the specifications that they meet.
Specification | SSP Materials |
AMS 3301, 3302, 3303, 3304, 3305J, 3325, 3332, and 3345 | |
A-A-59588 Classes 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B in various durometer-based grades. | |
MIL-DTL-25988 Type 2, Class 1 and 2 materials in various durometer-based grades | |
Low outgassing, low temperature silicones used by the space industry |
EMI Gaskets and EMI O-Rings
SSP is more than a material manufacturer. We also fabricate EMI gaskets and EMI O-rings from the shielding silicones that we make.
- EMI gaskets can be compression molded, flash cut, or die cut.
- EMI O-rings are compression molded as a single piece or fabricated from cut lengths of extrusions where we join the ends with electrically conductive silicone adhesive
As a vertically integrated manufacturer, SSP has an in-house toolroom where we machine molds, dies, jigs, and fixtures. We also have an in-house quality assurance (Q&A) laboratory.
