Wire Oriented Silicone Gaskets
What is Wire Oriented Silicone?
Wire Oriented Silicone is a silicone solid or sponge elastomer constructed of individual wires imbedded within the silicone. The EMI shielding is created by the wire, and the environmental and pressure seal is created by the elastomer. The wires are oriented perpendicular to the mating surface. 
Applications:
- EMI Shielding requiring an environmental or pressure seal
Industries served:
- Military
- Industrial
- Commercial
Properties:
- Water resistant
- High temperature resistance
- Wide temperature range
- Excellent chemical resistance
- High operating pressure
