Oriented Wires in Silicone & Fluorosilicone Rubber

A flat silicone rubber gasket material, available in solid or sponge, that is embedded with monel or aluminium metal wires orientated perpendicular to its surface. Provides a full environmental and EMI seal when clamped between two flat, rigid metallic surfaces. Excellent EMC/EMI performance is achieved as the material has a wire density of 900 wires / square inch (25mm2)The material is very versatile, and can be supplied in strips, sheets or made into fabricated gaskets to customer designs. It can also be supplied with a self adhesive backing to allow for easy placement on the equipment. The material is not suitable for frequent opening. A Fluorosilicone version is available for use in environments where fuels / oils / hydraulic fluids and other contaminates are present. Kemtron is able to offer a wide diversity of thicknesses as all sheets are cut in house from large block stocks.
