POLA® SOLIDOriented Wire in Elastomer Customer Value Proposition: 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. Available in various flat seal configurations, including sheets, strips and die-cut parts, POLA SOLID is easily integrated into existing application assemblies, making the switch from a non-EMI solution possible. With comparable performance at a fraction of the cost of alternative solutions that provide both EMI shielding and weather sealing performance, as well as the opportunity to exactly match the galvanic potential of interfacing aluminum surfaces, POLA SOLID provides total cost of ownership savings in excess of 50% through price point and corrosion rework reductions.

POLA SOLID STRIPS: Strips are available in standard widths from .093 to 1.000 inches, with a recommend height to width ratio of no greater than 1:1. Standard strip lengths are 11 feet. Bonded continuous lengths are available upon request. Twin strips are a variation of standard strips in that the oriented wires occupy only a portion of the total strip width. The unoccupied portion of the gasketing provides improved sealing and corrosion resistance for applications requiring optimized seal performance. Strips are available in widths 0.375" and larger, with the wire-occupied portion having a...

FABRICATED GASKETS: Parker Chomerics can provide finished gaskets utilizing a variety of cutting and bonding techniques. Compression stop integration is available upon request. Please contact Parker Chomerics directly for design assistance. Table 5 Notes: 1. Joint bonded with RTV silicone adhesive. 2. When B dim. is less than 4.5 inches (113 mm), POLASHEET, rather than POLASTRIP, may be used. 3. Die-cut gaskets should be inspected for dimensional compliance in a restrained condition. www.chomerics.com www.parker.com/chomerics CHOMERICS is a registered trademark of Parker Hannifin...
