Gasket Tape
Very soft and conformable, this expanded PTFE gasket tape compresses into an extremely thin profile. Use it to create a leak-resistant seal in tight-tolerance applications, such as on precision machinery. This tape is chemically inert, except to molten alkali metal and elemental fluorine.
Gasket tape that is made with FDA-listed material is for use with food and beverage.

EMI/RFI Shielding Gaskets
These gaskets absorb electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) to prevent inaccurate signals, flickering displays, and other electrical problems. They compress to fill gaps and complete a grounding path around doors and access panels.
Sheets work well between two flat surfaces.
Adhesive-back gaskets are wrapped with conductive aluminum foil and stick on with a conductive adhesive. Polyurethane foam gaskets are covered with either a conductive nickel/copper braided fabric or conductive aluminum foil. A nonconductive adhesive holds them in place. To protect sensitive equipment, they block at least twice as much interference as urethane foam gaskets. Cut these gaskets to length with scissors.
Gaskets that meet UL 94 V-0 self-extinguish within 10 seconds if they catch fire and won’t spread the fire by dripping.

High-Temperature Silicone Rubber Sheets, Bars, and Strips
Also known as polysiloxane, this silicone rubber offers good resistance to ozone and salt water. Softer durometer rubber has better conformability; harder durometer rubber is more wear resistant.
For adhesive-back sheets and strips that are FDA compliant, the silicone rubber meets the standard, but the adhesive does not.
