e-Sil 400 Series

Conductive Silver-Glass Silicone Rubber

 Download as PDF
e-Sil 400 series is composed of a silicone elastomer filled with silver plated glass particles exhibiting high electrical conductivity, providing highly effective shielding and offering excellent moisture sealing.
The e-Sil 461 and e-Sil 451 are high performance materials, in high and low hardness, which by far exceeds the requirements of MIL-G-83528/ M. The e-Sil 466 and e-Sil 456 are commercial grades, in high and low hardness, providing very good cost/performance engineering solutions.
Excellent compression set is achieved through unique process to enable mechanical sealing properties matched to non-conductive silicones. Enhanced electrical conductivity and shielding properties and good resistance to aging provides better performance in existing uses and gives endless freedom in designing new complicated three dimensional shapes.
 
Good tensile and tear strength.  e-sil 100
Silver/Glass filler minimize the risk for galvanic corrosion.
Excellent compression set to maintain sealing force over very long period of time - nearly half the value required by Mil-G-83528.
Effective over a wide range of temperatures.
Good sealing under moderate closing force.
Improved mechanical properties enables molding of complicated geometry and delicate parts.
The material provides cost effective production solutions.
Available in sheets in every thickness and custom die-cut parts.
Available as custom molded parts.
