Schlegel Electronics Materials can supply several common composite materials as sheet, strips, or die-cut gaskets. Each has fluid/pressure sealing characteristics when correctly integrated between mating surfaces.

Typical applications include connectors, avionics equipment, engine management systems and wave guides.

These gasket materials are an oriented matrix of wires bonded into a solid or sponge elastomer base. This material allows good electrical contact on less than ideal surface finishes while not allowing electrical conduction across the width of the gasket.

A flourosilicone variant is available for applications where fuel and oil resistance is necessary:

• Woven aluminum mesh impregnated with a silicone or neoprene elastomer.
• Expanded Monel mesh filled with a silicone elastomer.
