The nuclear power industry uses elastomers, or rubber, for many sealing applications such as airlock doors, hatches, pool gates, drywell heads, vibration dampening and others. Made from long-chain ...

What are electrically conductive elastomer gaskets and what materials are used to build them? EMI shielding material options. Results of galvanic corrosion tests on aluminum alloys of electrically ...

Plasticizer-free Baytec, a family of soft polyurethane elastomers, have low Durometer, sport high tear strengths and elongation properties, and are 20% lighter than silicone rubber. They are resilient ...

EMC gaskets are available with combinations of properties to address virtually any application. Metal finger stock made from beryllium-copper (BeCu) or stainless steel (Figure 1) is a very effective, ...

Chomerics has released 11,000 CAD models of its electrically-conductive elastomer gaskets. “Modelling a complex profile in 3D gives design engineering teams an opportunity to run simulations of the ...

Low-compression gaskets and pads protect and cushion sensitive components inside handheld electronics. Despite advances in CAD and FEA software, it is still difficult getting molded housings and ...

Seals are vital in any engineering structure in which fluids or gases have to be either contained or excluded. It is possible to produce a perfect seal between two surfaces without any intermediate ...
