What are a commonly encountered uses for flame retardant EMI gaskets from MAJR Products?

Flame retardant conductive gaskets can be used in a myriad of applications that require flame retardance and low outgassing including aerospace and military. MAJR’s 5000 series material is commonly used to replace the discontinued GORE GS2100 and GS5200 shielding gasket material. RF engineers use this versatile flame retardant, nickel-coated conductive silicone material in EMI and RFI gasket applications, particularly if there is a need for UL 94V-0 certification.

In addition, because this conductive silicone material is nickel-coated, it is also one of the best choices as far as galvanic compatibility in both harsh environments and standard environments, offering more flexibility than other metals.

Are technical specifications available?

Yes. You can get a complete product comparison here. Suffice to say that our unique nickel-coated graphite conductive silicone elastomer is both UL 94V-0 certified and tested in accordance with ASTM595 outgassing parameters, with and without conductive PSA applied.

Our Flame Retardant silicone products, Series No. 5000, can be cut to virtually any shape or size and is available with or without conductive pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). It’s also available in sheet and continuous roll stock to meet almost any specification or design requirement.

MAJR Products is here to ensure you have the right solutions for your military or civilian use applications, standards, and project requirements. The team at MAJR Products is here to help you confidently spec and source flame-retardant elastomer gasket solutions for your RF applications.
