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.

Half-round gaskets work well in grooves. Use a gasket slightly thicker than the depth of the groove; it will compress to fill the gap.

Urethane foam gaskets block EMI and RFI in most applications. Plain-back gaskets are made with conductive silver wire. They meet UL 94 HF-1, which means they stop burning within two seconds if they catch on fire and won’t spread the fire by dripping.

Polyurethane foam gaskets are covered with a conductive nickel/copper braided fabric. A nonconductive adhesive holds them in place. To protect sensitive equipment, they block at least twice as much interference as urethane foam gaskets. They meet UL 94 V-0, so they self-extinguish within 10 seconds if they catch fire and won’t spread the fire by dripping. Cut these gaskets to length with scissors.
