Next-Gen EMI Gasket with UL 94 V-0 Flame Rating for Aerospace, EV & Defense Systems
By the H-O Products applications engineering team · Updated May 2025 · ~4 min read
Electromagnetic interference poses real risk in aerospace, automotive, medical, and defense electronics. This gasket system pairs a UL 94 V-0 flame-rated conductive silicone foam core with a conductive pressure-sensitive adhesive that bonds to metals, composites, and plastics — shielding and flame compliance in one die-cut part.
What the system delivers
The gasket combines a UL 94 V-0 flame-rated conductive silicone foam core with a conductive PSA, delivering up to 90 dB shielding effectiveness across the 10 MHz–3 GHz frequency range while sealing against dust and moisture.
Key specifications
| Property | Performance |
|---|---|

Where it fits
- Aerospace / avionics — enclosure seams and access panels where flame compliance and shielding overlap
- Defense electronics — radios, radar panels, and ruggedized enclosures
- Electric vehicles — battery and motor system enclosures
- Medical imaging — equipment where EMI control protects signal integrity

Frequently asked questions
How much shielding does this gasket provide?
Up to 90 dB shielding effectiveness across the 10 MHz–3 GHz frequency range, with performance depending on compression and joint geometry.
Does the conductive PSA affect shielding?
The PSA is conductive, so it maintains the electrical path between the gasket and the substrate rather than insulating it — attachment without losing shielding continuity.
