Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a growing challenge for engineers. Not all EMI gaskets can be die cut from flat sheets, or bonded and spliced from extruded shapes. In fact, many designs require a custom molded EMI gasket instead.
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) has the unique ability to custom mold EMI elastomers using 100% in-house resources. Moreover, our custom molded EMI gaskets are backed by top-notch service, lead time, pricing, and quality. Â Â
As a manufacturer of conductive elastomers, SSP can mix the materials you need at our Ballston Spa, New York (USA) facility. These silicones and flurosilicones include fully qualified MIL-DTL-83528 materials that meet U.S. military requirements for EMI shielding.
SSP also has an in-house machine shop so we can produce custom molds with shorter lead times and lower costs. Finally, we’re able to process and vulcanize raw material in custom molds using any of our five high-tonnage compression molding presses.  Â
The custom EMI gaskets that SSP molds are made from high-quality elastomers that are filled with metal-coated particles. Examples include silver-aluminum silicone and fluorosilicone that are fully certified to MIL-DTL-83528 Type B and D, respectively. SSP also molds EMI gaskets with nickel-plated aluminum particles for corrosion resistance. SSP’s EMI silicones and fluorosilicones with nickel-coated graphite particles are cost-effective. Engineers can also choose conductive silicone and fluorosilicone with silver-copper particles.Â
