EMI Shielding Materials


1. Fabric Over Foam Gaskets


For outstanding control of EMI, Schlegel Electronic Materials EMI gaskets provide the perfect fit. Made from resilient open-cell urethane foam encased in conductive fabrics, Schlegel Electronic Materials gaskets fit securely in even small gaps and uneven joints. Lightweight and flexible, these EMI shielding gaskets are ideal for a variety of applications from portable electronics units, servers and computers to peripherals and large enclosures. Schlegel Electronic Materials EMI shielding gaskets are non-abrasive to conductively plated and painted surfaces, and they maintain galvanic compatibility with a range of surfaces. Schlegel Electronic Materials gaskets are tested with their conductive fabric to meet UL 94-VO and HB recognitions.

Schlegel Electronic Materials offers over 120 different profiles to meet all of your shielding needs. From standard square and rectangular to C-fold to D-shape, L-shape, P-shape, U-shape, and more, Schlegel Electronic Materials will design the ideal shielding gasket to meet your needs.

For easy installation Schlegel Electronic Materials gaskets are offered with, durable self-attaching inserts, clips, push-rivets or pressure-sensitive adhesive. Whatever the EMI shielding challenge, Schlegel Electronic Materials has a product to meet your most stringent requirements.

Foam options

All Schlegel Electronic Materials fabric-over-foam gaskets are constructed with our unsurpassed, industry leading polyurethane foam core technology.

Within Schlegel Electronic Materials cladding portfolio C2, C70, C12, and M80, we can select from the following foam options:
  • Standard, highly resilient UL 94-HB recognized foam (gray)
  • Standard, flame retardant UL 94-VO recognized foam (blue)
  • Bromine-free flame retardant UL 94-VO recognized foam (blue)


Compression set


Standard UL 94-HB and Standard flame retardant UL 94-VOThe core of Schlegel Electronic Materials EMI shielding gaskets is open-celled polyether polyurethane foam in a high-resiliency (HB) formula. Compression set of foam that is encapsulated is 1% at ambient temperature, and <5% at 70deg. C (158 deg. F) when compressed 50% of free height for 22 hours.
