Conductive fabric wrapped sponge
Our range of ultra soft fabric wrapped sponge EMI shielding profiles utilizes a highly conductive and durable impregnated fabric formed around a sponge or foam core to create a very versatile low compression gasket.
Conductive fabric wrapped profiles are particularly suitable for fixed-gasket applications within the computer or telecommunications manufacturing sectors as they are easily trimmed to size, are self-terminating and provide excellent dust and moisture protection coupled with a high degree of EMI shielding.
Our conductive fabric wrapped sponge profiles are available in strip form or as ready to fit preformed or jointed gaskets. The standard materials have a self-adhesive backing and can be quickly & easily fixed in position. Corner joints can be mitred or butt-jointed depending on the cross-section with no need to bond or ‘antifray’ seal the cut ends. All our conductive fabric is ‘Rip-Stop’ unless otherwise specified.
