  • Patent number: 6613976
    Abstract: A gasket device for shielding electromagnetic radiation is comprised of several alternating areas of two different elastomeric materials, one of which is conductive. The areas of conductive material are substantially thinner than the other areas and provide a conductive path from one side of the gasket to the other.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5141770
    Abstract: A gasket shield for counteracting electromagnetic interference is provided with a thin, elastomeric outer layer encapsulating a thicker, elastomeric inner layer as a flexible gasket, the outer layer constituting a metal-filled-elastomer exhibiting high conductivity and excellent attenuation of electrical energy. The thin outer layer is deposited by coating from solution such as by slot-head coating, dip-coating, gravure roll coating, spray coating or knife coating. In this way a thinner and more uniform outer layer can be provided than is achievable by co-extrusion, thereby providing a greater consistency and reduced costs, as well as a greater degree of metal-filling per unit volume of rubber matrix.
