Knit Shield and Seal

A versatile, high performance EMI/RFI/EMP shielding and pressure seal material that is ideal for sheet metal enclosures. Knitted rectangular-conductive-wire mesh strip is combined with a sponge or solid elastomer supporting strip in a wide range of configurations. Optional pressure sensitive adhesive backing improves mounting ease and speed of installation. Knit Shield and Seal is available in a wide variety of widths and thicknesses in strip form or as fabricated gaskets. It is commonly used for EMI/RFI shielding in electronic enclosures requiring both an environmental and EMI seal.
