EMI/RFI Conductive Silicones for EV Sealing and Shielding
- Posted By: Dominic Testo
- Category Featured, EMI RFI Shielding

The EV industry needs electrically-conductive gaskets that combine proven environmental resistance with reliable shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers and gasket fabricators have a choice of materials, but EMI/RFI elastomers from Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) are solving sealing and shielding challenges – and more.Whether you’re designing an EV battery box, an EV charging station, or an [...]

Most unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) require communications with ground-based systems such as radio gateways. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can disrupt these communications, degrade the quality of global positioning system (GPS) reception, and interfere with the drone’s onboard compass, which is calibrated according to the Earth’s magnetic field. The causes of UAV EMI are numerous, but electrically conductive gaskets made of shielding silicones are part of the solution.What [...]

Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes conductive shielding elastomers, including five QPL listed products that meet MIL-DTL-83528 requirements. For engineers who need EMI/RFI gaskets for military applications, it’s important to know what MIL-DTL-83528 is and how it’s related to the QPL. It’s also worth learning about some other conductive shielding elastomers that are used in military projects. What is MIL-DTL-83528?MIL-DTL-83528 is a detail specification from the U.S. [...]
EV Battery Box Sealing and EMI Shielding

- Category Featured, EMI RFI Shielding

Redesigning an EV battery box because of a gasket problem can be difficult and expensive. It’s better to account for EV battery box sealing up-front than to design the case and discover that a gasket won’t fit, or that a chosen material wasn’t the best selection. Along with low-temperature flexibility and high-temperature resistance, EV battery box gaskets need to provide shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI). They also need to meet tough flammability [...]
EMI Silicones with Shorter Lead Times and Better Physical Properties

- Category Featured, EMI RFI Shielding

Are you looking for an alternative to BISCO® EC-2130 EMI silicone from Rogers Corporation? Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes a comparable material that has shorter lead times and better physical properties. SSP-502-30 is a 30-durometer, nickel-graphite silicone that has the same hardness and uses the same type of conductive filler as BISCO® EC-2130. The lead times for SSP-502-30 are just three to four weeks, and sheets of our material are available with a conductive PSA for [...]
