Laird Technologies is supplying ElectroMet oriented wire gaskets for EMI shielding and sealing. Monel or aluminium wires, embedded in the elastomer and oriented perpendicular to the mating surfaces, provide the EMI sealing.
Solid or sponge silicone provides the weather sealing; however, solid silicone weather seals are recommended for high-pressure applications. Silicone based oriented wire composites are capable of withstanding temperature ranges
-56°C to 260°C. Oriented wire materials are available in sheet or strip form with a minimum thickness of 0,8 mm.
ElectroMet impregnated wire mesh and expanded metal gaskets are available in thin sheet form. EMI shielding is provided by woven aluminium mesh or expanded metals. Pressure sealing is provided by neoprene or silicone elastomer impregnated in the mesh. Fluorosilicone is also available for specific applications that require resistance to oils, hydraulic fluids and hydrocarbon fuels.
