Description

Parker Chomerics CHO-SEAL 1285 is a conductive elastomer gasket material featuring silver-plated aluminium filler dispersed in a silicone elastomer binder. This combination provides effective EMI/RFI shielding performance while retaining the flexibility and environmentally sealing characteristics of silicone.

The material is commonly used where EMI attenuation and environmental sealing are required together, offering corrosion resistance and electrical continuity in assemblies across aerospace, defence, communications, industrial and other electronic systems. CHO-SEAL 1285 supports a balance of shielding effectiveness and mechanical properties appropriate for a wide range of electronic enclosures and interfaces.
