Applications

Electromagnetic Shielding

Providing Electromagnetic Compatibility with Rubbercraft's conductive elastomers

Electrically Conductive; Mechanically Durable; Resilient and Conformable

The requirements for reliable performance of electronic systems, high density packaging and the need to lead advancements in digital technology are of utmost importance to Rubbercraft's customers.

To answer these critical customer needs and provide for EMC compatibility, Rubbercraft applies proprietary technology to electromagnetic shielding gasketing and sealing elastomers that have property profiles, features and benefits unmatched by conventional gasketing materials.

Rubbercraft's EMI shielding and sealing technology, integrated with customer parts and components provide:

electrical continuity between mating surfaces while ensuring environmental protection and vibration isolation
outstanding shielding performance while maintaining electrical integrity
long life in critical applications

For more than a decade, designers and design engineers of electronics systems have found Rubbercraft's Rubbershield technology and applications a superior alternative to solve the most demanding EMC design requirements.

Rubbercraft's EMI shielding custom formulated high performance molded and extruded elastomers have outstanding physical properties, chemical, fuel and solvent resistance in a wide range of temperature capabilities. Rubbercraft uses an extensive number of metallic and non-metallic fillers including carbon, silver, nickel, aluminum and copper particles. Rubbercraft's conductive elastomer gaskets and seals include use of silicone, fluorosilicone and organic rubbers. Rubbercraft can meet customers' EMC requirements by molding in place, extruding continuous lengths, die cutting from sheet and vulcanized to metal, composite, and a wide range of other materials. Applying combinations of these unique capabilities, we can:

custom formulate and tailor conductivity and compatibility to each individual application
custom formulate parts and components for environmental extremes and temperature requirements
incorporate into a turnkey assembly
provide volume resistively from 10 -3 to 10 8 U-cm and shielding effectiveness from 80 to 115db
meet the MIL-DTL-83528C standard

Thermal Management

Protecting Sensitive Electronics from Overheating

High speed processors and high density electronic packages generate significant heat, compromising required optimum performance of computing devices and network systems.

Rubbercraft's elastomers are filled with high thermally conductive materials and shield, remove and distribute heat buildup for reliable and efficient system operations. Rubbercraft's proprietary elastomer thermal pads accommodate:

stringent requirements of thermal conductivity
electrical insulation, and
fill gaps between heat generating components and heat dissipating surfaces.
Rubbercraft's thermal elastomers can be used as thermal pads with or without a reinforcing carrier.

Emissions Control

Rubbercraft also applies its proprietary elastomer based radar absorbing materials (RAM) and shielding solutions to:

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP)
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
