Products / Parker / Emi Shielding / POLA SOLID Oriented Wire In Elastomer
POLA SOLID is a composite electromagnetic interface (EMI) shielding and environmental sealing gasket material consisting of hundreds of individual fine wires embedded into the z-axis of solid elastomer.
Features:
• Solid silicone results in increased durability and sealing
performance.
• Multiple wire alloy options allow for galvanic compatibility to be
optimized between the asketing and mating surfaces.
• Cured in place oriented wires will not dislodge, thereby
eliminating foreign object debris concerns.
• Wire “bite-through” during gasket deflection allows for
non-conductive pressure sensitive adhesive to be used rather than
the conductive systems more commonly offered with EMI gasketing
solutions.
• Various form factors are offered including strips, sheets and
converted gaskets, thereby allowing for easy application and
manufacturing integration.
Benefits:
• A solid silicone binder results in a robust gasketing material
that can withstand greater fastener torque values as well as
increased pressure and weather sealing requirements.
• Galvanic compatibility allows for optimized corrosion mitigation
and avoidance of related rework costs.
• Elimination of foreign object debris ensures costly application
rework due to electrical shorting can be avoided.
• The elimination of conductive pressure sensitive adhesive results
in better adhesion and less galvanic corrosion potential for the
overall system, thereby reducing both gasket installation labor and
rework associated with corrosion.
• Various form factors reduce secondary operations and capital
expenditures commonly associated with gasket conversion.
