EMI/RFI Shielding Gaskets for Data Connectors
Fit these gaskets over connectors that plug in to your enclosure to absorb interference and prevent signal problems. They block electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which cause flickering displays and inaccurate readings.
Silicone gaskets are good for high temperature and wet environments because they seal out moisture. Most are sized to fit specific mil. spec. connector shell sizes.
Interference reduction at frequency, also known as attenuation, describes how much EMI and RFI is blocked. These gaskets block most interference; use them for general purpose shielding as well as protecting sensitive or precision components.

High-Temperature Rope Edge Seals
A tighter braid makes these fiberglass seals more durable than High-Temperature Ultra-Conformable Rope Edge Seals. They’re flexible and will conform to uneven surfaces. Push them into the groove that’s commonly built into oven doors, furnaces, and tanks. They resist bleach, solvents, and most acids (do not use with hydrofluoric acid, hot phosphoric acid, and wet hydrogen chloride).
High-Temperature Ultra-Conformable Rope Edge Seals
These loosely knitted fiberglass seals are more flexible, compressible, and conformable than High-Temperature Rope Edge Seals. The looser construction also makes them more likely to absorb liquids. Push them into the groove that’s commonly built into oven doors, furnaces, and tanks. They resist bleach, solvents, and most acids (do not use with hydrofluoric acid, hot phosphoric acid, and wet hydrogen chloride).
Square-Profile Ultra High-Temperature Rope Edge Seals
The flat edges on these square-profile seals provide more sealing surface than round-profile seals. They’re made of 98% silica for excellent temperature resistance. They’re flexible and will conform to uneven surfaces. Push them into the groove that’s commonly built into oven doors, furnaces, and tanks. They resist water, salts, and diluted acids.
High-Temperature Slotted Rope Edge Seals
Made of fiberglass, these seals are woven tighter than High-Temperature Ultra-Conformable Slotted Edge Seals for increased durability. Also known as drop-warp and bolt-hole tape, they have openings along the center to accommodate bolts and rivets. Use them on metal flanges, as well as on oven, furnace, and boiler doors. They resist grease, oil, hydraulic fluid, and solvents.
Light Duty Blended EPDM Foam Sheets and Strips
EPDM is blended with neoprene and SBR to create a general-purpose foam that offers good resistance to water and wear. This foam has closed-cell construction, which restricts water, air, and gases from being absorbed.
