Electrically Conductive Grade Silicone Rubber Sheeting is designed for many different applications. It is black; carbon filled silicone sheeting that acts as a low amperage conductor and provides protection against electrostatic discharge. Silicone rubber exhibits a wish list of characteristics including superb chemical resistance, high temperature performance, good thermal and electrical resistance, long-term resiliency, and easy fabrication. It has excellent UV and ozone resistance. Silicone is odorless, tasteless, chemically inert and non-toxic. It offers low compression set and fungus resistance.
Common Applications: ECD silicone rubber can be used for insulating and cushioning electronic assemblies. It is also used for gaskets, heat sealing and packaging, RFI/EMI Shielding.
