WL Gore & Associates’ GORE-SHIELD GS 500 is a non-military grade strip gasket which allows design engineers the opportunity to develop and prototype their own EMI gaskets with low fuss and cost. It also provides a solution to retrofitting problems and for field repairing damaged gaskets.
Available from stock in standard 15 metre rolls, the gasket material has a conductive, pressure sensitive adhesive. To ensure easy installation, joins or corners can be made by simply overlapping the strip or butting the ends together. The soft, conformable nature of GORE-SHIELD will allow any overlaps to compress down to the same cross section as the remainder of the gasket when a load is applied. The thickness of the strip can be increased, if required, by simply adding additional layers. Once the design is complete, custom die-cut shapes can be supplied from CAD files.
Strips cut to length can be supplied as user defined lengths of GORE-SHIELD, which are packaged either as loose pieces or on a continuous roll. The latter consists of individual pieces which can be conveniently peeled off and placed in position using the conductive pressure sensitive adhesive backing.

As soon as electronics and electrical systems started interfering with each other, the world had to come to some consensus. Considering physics is universal and does not care about what country electrical/electronic products are used in, it should be the same everywhere, right? It is nearly there, but not quite.
