AG-613F-50 Nickel Coated Graphite Fluorosilicone
Style AG-613F-50 is an electrically-conductive shielding gasket material that is a 50 durometer (Shore A) nickel-coated graphite-filled fluorosilicone elastomer which protects electronic equipment and produces shielding against radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). AG-613F-50 nickel-coated graphite-filled fluorosilicone differs from its silicone counterparts because it specializes in protection from harsh environmental conditions with fuels and solvents. It has a volume resistivity of .015 ohm/cm and shielding effectiveness of greater than 113 dB.
AG-613F-50 is similar to our other electrically-conductive nickel-coated graphite-filled elastomers such as AG-613F-60 (fluorosilicone) and AG-613F-80 (fluorosilicone) which also provide protection against solvents and fuels. This nickel-coated graphite-filled fluorosilicone can be converted into die-cut and water jet cut parts or provided as continuous rolls up to 12” wide. The material can be provided in a dark gray color.

The chart below compares the electrically-conductive nickel-coated graphite-filled fluorosilicone to other filler materials that act as electromagnetic interference (EMI)/radio frequency interference (RFI) shielding. We offer the nickel-coated graphite-filled fluorosilicone which acts as a great sealant against environmental factors, especially the severe ones with fuels/solvents, and large temperatures ranges. When compared to other fillers such as silver-coated copper, silver-coated glass, and silver-coated aluminum, nickel-coated graphite has a conductivity that is comparable to its silver counterparts.
| Filler | Conductivity | Typical Volume Resistivity (V.R.) |
Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver | Extremely Conductive | .0009 ohms/cm | Most Expensive |
| Silver Coated Aluminum | Super Conductive | .003 ohms/cm | More Expensive |
| Silver Coated Copper | Super Conductive | .001 ohms/cm | Expensive |
| Silver Coated Glass | Very Conductive | .006 ohms/cm | Less Expensive |
| *Nickel Coated Graphite | Conductive | .01 ohms/cm | Least Expensive* |
