Fluorosilicone for the EMI and RFI Shielding Industry
Fluorosilicone materials for the EMI and RFI shielding industry are engineered for sealing applications requiring excellent fuel resistance, low temperature flexibility, environmental durability, and compatibility with sensitive electronic systems. Fluorosilicone, also known as FVMQ, is widely used in conductive gaskets, enclosure seals, environmental seals, connector seals, custom molded rubber parts, and EMI shielding systems installed in aerospace electronics, military systems, telecommunications equipment, defense electronics, and industrial control systems. These materials are commonly specified in applications where conductive shielding components may be exposed to fuels, lubricants, hydrocarbon vapors, or severe environmental conditions.
