    Editor's Note: Each week, Rubber & Plastics News will take a look at some of the rubber industry's new products and innovations on www.rubbernews.com. Does your company have a new product or new innovation? To be considered for inclusion in this recurring feature, email [email protected]

    Stockwell Elastomerics Inc. has launched its EMI gasket materials touch brochure that highlights nickel-plated graphite filled elastomer products.

    The touch brochure includes tactile buttons of three different electrically conductive elastomers, the company claimed, and has been created to assist engineers tasked with specifying EMI / environmental sealing gaskets. The EMI Gasket Materials Touch Brochure can be requested online by clicking here.

    Stockwell Elastomerics' EMI touch brochure highlights three nickel-plated graphite filled elastomer options:

    • SNE-540 is a 40 durometer nickel-plated graphite filled silicone rubber that provides a balance of high shielding attenuation (greater than 100 dB from 20MHz to 10GHz) and compressibility for effective environmental sealing. SNE-540 is readily available in sheets with a thickness range from .020 inch to .125 inch and fabricated into gaskets. Additionally, SNE-540 also can be compression molded into custom gaskets or EMI components.

    • SNEF-50 is a 50 durometer nickel-plated graphite filled fluorosilicone elastomer for EMI gasket applications requiring chemical resistance. Fluorosilicone resists swelling in oil and fuel contact, and is rated better than silicone rubber for NBC requirements, according to the company. Stockwell Elastomerics said this compound may be molded into custom configurations.

    • SNE-553 is a 30 durometer nickel-plated graphite filled soft silicone rubber with moderate shielding effectiveness. The low durometer is beneficial for applications with limited closure force such as EMI touch screen gaskets requiring environmental sealing and moderate EMI shielding, the company claimed.

    AGC Chemicals Americas Inc. has introduced Fluon ETFE AH-600, -700 and -800 series of products that the company said is ideal for constructions that require unsurpassed conductivity levels, chemical resistance, permeation resistance and protection against static buildup.

    When manufactured with Fluon AH-ETFE, AGC said components such as liquid lines, vapor lines, fuel tanks and filler necks exhibit outstanding performance.

    Fluon ETFE is a melt processable copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene. The AH-600 series produces a lower melting compound, AGC said, that offers a wider process window and better compatibility with polyamide nylons for co-extrusion. The AH-700 series balances performance and economy, while the AH-800 series has a higher upper-end temperature rating (approaching 200°C) and improved resistance to stress cracks at elevated temperatures.

    The Association for Hose and Accessories Distribution has released its latest version of the Hose Safety Institute Handbook. New copies may be purchased on the NAHAD website.

    In addition, an update pack is available for any existing copies. Click here to purchase. Also, Fabrication Guides have also been posted on the institute website.

    The Handbook is 324 pages and includes 93 charts and 319 photos. The association said images serve as an excellent reference, training and specification resource for hose assembly fabricators and end-users. The handbook also can serve as the study guide for five different online exams, with individual certificates issued upon successful completion of each exam.

    NAHAD noted that previous versions of the handbook are no longer valid and are not supported by the institute.
