Product Overview

2571 Conductive Silicone (Silver-Copper, High-Durometer) — Technical Overview & FAQs

What is 2571?

2571 is a high-durometer, silver-copper filled conductive silicone designed for EMI/RFI shielding in applications that require greater stiffness and mechanical integrity. It meets MIL-DTL-83528 Type K and is QPL-listed.

Where is 2571 used?

Rigid enclosures and structural panels
Aerospace and defense systems requiring tight tolerance sealing
Panel-to-chassis grounding applications

What makes 2571 different?

High durometer (~70 Shore A) for load-bearing applications
Volume resistivity of 0.0006 Ω·cm for exceptional conductivity
Shielding effectiveness exceeding 140 dB

Does 2571 resist compression set?

Yes — its reinforced silicone base ensures dimensional stability and rebound over long service life.

Is it available in custom profiles?

Yes, 2571 can be extruded or molded into complex geometries to meet MIL-spec gasket requirements.
