The high-performance SILMEL gasket combine sealing and EMC for all applications of enclosures, enclosures, hatches… outdoors (IP). These gasket are used mainly as connector or base gaskets. They are made of silicone in which is “drowned” wires of Monel or Aluminum. The homogeneity, texture and chemical composition of silicone are not degraded by the presence of these threads. Indeed, they offer good compatibility with most materials. It is rare to notice any galvanic corrosion between the SILMEL seal and its support (even if it is aluminum). The presence of corrugated metal wires positioned perpendicular to the faces embedded in the mass of the silicone, does not affect the sealing function of the gasket. Thus, the resistance to external aggressions (chemicals, fluids…) and the service life are those of pure silicone.
