Silicones That Work

Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) supplies a nickel-aluminum silicone that provides EMI shielding, resists galvanic corrosion, and offers an offset to Chomerics 6502. SSP-2529 is ideal for marine environments and is available in molded sheets and extruded profiles. SSP’s dark gray, 68-durometer shielding silicone also has shorter lead times and lower minimum order quantities (MOQs) than the competition.  The shielding effectiveness for SSP-2529 was tested at over 100 dB between 20 [...]

Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) now offers a nickel-aluminum silicone for marine gaskets that require galvanic-corrosion resistance and MIL-DTL-83528F EMI shielding. SSP’s new product, SSP-2529, is an offset to Chomerics 6502 that features shorter lead times and lower minimum order quantities (MOQs) than the competition.   SSP-2529 is a dark gray, 68-durometer EMI silicone that’s supplied as molded sheets and extruded profiles. This nickel-aluminum product was tested for [...]

Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) supplies EMI conductive elastomer extrusions in the shapes, sizes, and shielding silicones that engineers, material converters, and gasket fabricators need. SSP’s major investment in a 40-ton Loomis extruder complements our in-house tooling and bonding capabilities. For shorter lead times, lower costs, and bonded gaskets, choose EMI extrusions from SSP.  Let’s take a look at what you need to know to get started.  Profile Shapes and [...]

Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) now offers a 60-durometer, nickel-graphite shielding silicone that meets the flammability requirements of UL 94 V-0, a flame-testing standard from Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Flame-retardant SSP-502-60-V0 is supplied as a ready-to-mold compound, fully-cured conductive sheet stock, or as continuous rolls. This particle-filled silicone supports gasket fabrication through a variety of manufacturing methods and provides environmental sealing and electrical [...]

EMI O-rings combine environmental sealing with protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). They’re made of silicone compounds that are filled with metal or metal-coated particles such as silver, silver-aluminum, or nickel-graphite. Gasket fabricators produce EMI O-rings by cutting EMI cord stock and then bonding the ends of cut lengths together. Applications for these donut-shaped seals include automotive, aerospace, industrial, medical, and military electronics. To convert EMI [...]
