Atlantic Gasket Adds Additional AMS & MIL Spec Silicones & Fluorosilicones

Atlantic Gasket is adding additional silicone and fluorosilicone rubber products to its material portfolio! The silicone rubbers added to our website will meet requirements specified by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and meet various AMS (Aerospace Material Specification) specs. These include AMS 3301, AMS 3302, AMS 3303, AMS 3304, AMS 3304, AMS 3305, AMS 3195, AMS 3196, AMS 3315, AMS 3320, AMS 3345, AMS 3347, AMS 3348, and AMS 3349. The silicone rubbers have the ability to resist a range of ambient conditions such as weathering, petroleum-based lubricating oils, extreme temperatures, and more.

Additionally, Atlantic Gasket is also adding multiple fluorosilicone rubber products as well, and these rubbers meet the MIL-DTL-25988C specification for various types and grades. These include Type 1 and 2 along with Grade 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80. The MIL-DTL-25988C specification refers to a range of fluorosilicone products like o-rings, compression seals, molded parts, extruded shapes, sheets, and strips.

Furthermore, Atlantic Gasket has also added a few other products such as AG-3686 low outgas/low temperature silicone specializing in spacecraft applications, AG-613-55LT conductive silicone that meets ASTM E595 low outgassing requirements and withstands extremely low temperatures, and AG21431 premium grade Viton™ that meets the Viton™ GF specification. Just like all of our sponges, rubbers, plastics, and other materials, these added rubbers will be available in custom-cut parts, sheets, rolls, and a variety of thicknesses.

Atlantic Gasket has the ability to die-cut, waterjet-cut, and knife-cut any of these new products to your custom-cut need for parts. We also provide laminating and slitting services to apply adhesive to materials and parts along with cutting them to custom stripping sizes. We look forward to helping you out with your next project!

Conductive Silicone O-Rings are Electric in 2023

Design News Features SSP EMI O-Rings Article

As we push into yet another new year, the need for shielding important electronic equipment continues to increase!  Electrically-conductive silicone and fluorosilicone rubbers act as the barrier to protect these vehicles, machinery, and more from the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).  Furthermore, o-rings produced from these conductive materials are becoming increasingly necessary as we move into the future. 

Atlantic Gasket has the ability to provide these conductive silicone/fluorosilicone o-rings to protect against EMI and RFI issues and meet MIL-G-83528/MIL-DTL-83528 standards.  Military applications (LCD screens, avionics, and radios), electric vehicles (EV), robotics 5G telecommunication equipment, and more rely on these conductive rubbers to function.  Provide us with your o-ring size, and Atlantic Gasket can quickly get a quotation back to you.

O-rings are just one of the electrically-conductive products that we can provide!  Atlantic Gasket has the capability to also assist our customers with custom-cut parts and raw material made from EMI and RFI shielding rubbers based on a silicone or fluorosilicone rubber filled with a variety of metal fillers that have the potential to meet various MIL-G-83528/MIL-DTL-83528 specification and flammability standards.  Let us help you with your next project!

Atlantic Gasket Revamps Site with EMI/RFI Products

SSP-502-30 Roll Material (4)Atlantic Gasket continues to keep up with the growing demands of different markets, and this time, we’ve revamped our website with a new section for EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) shielding materials.  These silicone and fluorosilicone rubbers are filled with a variety of metallic fillers to allow them to be electrically conductive and protect sensitive electronic equipment and other products.  These fillers include Nickel-Aluminum, Nickel-Graphite, Silver-Aluminum, Silver-Copper, Silver-Glass, and Silver-Nickel.

 

 

IMG_5645EMI & RFI shielding gaskets are important in serving a range of industries, such as military, aerospace, automotive, medical, and more.  We can provide silicones and fluorosilicones that meet the MIL-G-83528/MIL-DTL-83528 specification and others that are QPL listed.  Our EMI/RFI materials come in a wide variety of thicknesses, durometers, sheet sizes, rolls, and colors to help suit your needs.  This variety allows us to provide a range of die-cut parts, waterjet-cut parts, stripping, roll goods, sheets, and more.

The EMI/RFI silicones and fluorosilicones not only protect against electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference but also the typical environmental factors, such as silicone’s natural resistance to a large temperature range.  For harsh environments with solvents and fuels, fluorosilicone is the answer to your issues.  The combination of the rubber along with the internal metallic fillers allows these EMI/RFI shielding materials to be a fantastic option for protecting sensitive equipment for your next project!
