Conductive elastomers • Knitted wire mesh Conductive coatings, sealants, adhesives Cable shielding products • EMI/ESD shielding laminate Shielded vents and Windows TECHNICAL BULLETIN 13 CHO-SEAL® Aerospace-200 Grade Conductive Silicone CHO-SEAL® Aerospace-200 grade sheet stock materials are highly conductive elastomers which provide both RF suppression and pressure rétention. Thèse materials consist of Chomerics' "essential silver" powders dispersed in silicone or fluorosilicone binders. They are résilient, homogeneous composites manufactured from virgin components of the highest quality, and are also available in die-cut and molded shapes. Aerospace-200 grade materials are characterized by exceptional heat stability, maintaining their electrical properties at continuous-use températures up to 200°C. They also meet NASA out-gassing spécifications. Variations in chemical or physical properties make each material in this grade specifically suited for certain applications. CHO-SEAL® 1221 - a fluorosilicone intended for use where solvent, oil, or jet-fuel compatibility is required. CHO-SEAL® 1224 - a médium durometer silicone material. CHO-SEAL conductive elastomers are chemically inert, and will resist the effects of most corrosive atmosphères. Where pure silver-filled CHO-SEAL materials are in contact with a dissimilar métal in a corrosive environment, coating or edge sealing of the mating surfaces may be required. (For best corrosion résistance, CHO-SEAL 1285, 1298 and 1287 are recommended. Refer to Technical Bulletins 58, 19 and 18.) CHO-SEAL materials are not nutrients for fungus or microorganisms, and will not support their growth. They are mois-ture résistant, even at high températures. Aerospace-200 grade sheet stock is available in standard thicknesses of 0.031 in. (0.79 mm), 0.062 in. (1.57 mm), 0.093 in. (2.36 mm) and 0.125 in. (3.18 mm); and dimensions of 10 in. x 10 in. (25.4 cm x 25.4 cm), 10 in. x 15 in. (25.4 cm x 38.1 cm), 20 in. x 15 in. (50.8 cm x 38.1 cm) and 30 in. x 20 in. (76.2 cm x 50.8 cm). Standard "D" and "O" rings, as well as extruded strips of various cross sections, are also available. Unique advantages over other methods of EMI shielding and sealing include: Heat Stability - When used with in the recommended range of continuous-use températures, CHO-SEAL Aerospace-200 grade materials provide totally reliable shielding and sealing. Reuseability-They retain their original shape if compressed within recommended limits. Non scarring - They contain no métal wires or knurled surfaces to break or scar mating flanges. Conformability - They conform to uneven or rough surfaces. continued
