A range of extruded gasket profiles in soft easy to compress silicone sponge are ideal for enclosure and door sealing. The material is approved to UL94V0 for flame retardancy making it suitable for indoor applications. The gaskets will seal dust and water up to IP65, can be self-adhesive-backed for easy mounting and can be bent around corners ensuring sealing integrity.

Silicone sponge has very low compression set and a life of 20 years making it suitable for all applications.

Kemtron also manufactures an EMC version for RFI/EMI shielding by adding a conductive knitted wire mesh over silicone sponge section.

This gasket gives a good EMC performance with 100dB+ in the electric field 1MHz to 1GHz and 40-70dB in the magnetic field 10kHz to 1MHz.
