Knitted mesh with carrier

They can be supplied with dual gaskets, one on either side of the carrier, with one being a mesh gasket and the other an environmental seal. The aluminium extrusion acts as a limit stop, controlling the even compression of the gasket.

KM Series gaskets can be used on covers, door frames and other apertures where the surrounding metalwork is either insufficiently rigid or is very heavy duty and needs a robust, well anchored gasket which will not be affected by the stresses and shearing action imposed on conventional twinstrip gasketing.

KM mesh is generally supplied as straight lengths (up to 3m), welded/jointed frames to suit specific apertures or as mitre cut sections ready to mount around cabinets, doors or hatches. The aluminium carrier is usually drilled and countersunk ready for screws or rivets or, in less stringent conditions, frames can be fixed using a high-bond pressure sensitive adhesive. Welding is possible but not recommended as damage to the mesh or elastomer is very difficult to repair.

Other products from this member

Shielded windows

Fully laminated (WF Series) screened windows combine the physical strength and optical clarity of laminated glass or plastic with the shielding effectiveness of fine wire gauze.

Silshield - Oriented wires in silicone

Our S Range silicone rubbers combine excellent environmental protection with a high level of shielding effectiveness. These products incorporate a matrix of vertically oriented wires which pierce both flat faces of the elastomer and provide around 100 contact points per square centimetre.

Vent/filter composites

P & P Technology's VB Series of EMC vents / filter assemblies are composites of the VH Series honeycomb attenuation vents and demountable dustfilter panels containing a demembraned polyurethene filter media.

Conductive adhesive

The one-part conductive particle filled room temperature curing silicone rubber adhesives is available using standard silicone and flurosilicone base compounds combined with a selection of particle fillers to produce a readily extrudable paste which self-cures when exposed to atmospheric moisture.

Airfilters with dustfield

Our VF Series of RFI vents combine the benefits of an attenuation vent panel with the properties of a dustfilter in a single frame, unlike the VB Series which utilises separate units fixed together in-situ.

Elastomer-cored knitted wire meshes

P & P Technology's KE Series elastomer-cored knitted wire meshes consist of two layers of knitted wire over a low-closing-force rubber or elastomer core and offer the same shielding effectiveness of all-mesh types.

Twinstrip knitted or cored mesh gaskets

Twinstrip is a combination of knitted or cored mesh gasket with a non-conductive environmental seal. The wire mesh types used are Monel, Aluminium, TCS and Stainless Steel and the permutations of wire and elastomer combinations are almost endless providing a wide range of environmental, water, dust and pressure seals.

Monex - expanded monel foil

Monex is expanded Monel foil filled with silicone rubber. The exposed foil surface provides excellent conductivity combined with good corrosion resistance. Monex is also 'thin' gasket medium, similar to Aluweave, and is particularly suitable for connector or waveguide gaskets where a pressure seal and EMI shield is required.

Edge bonded shielded windows

A low cost range of windows offering the same high level of EMI shielding performace as our range of fully laminated windows (WF Series) but with edge lamination only.

Aluweave - versatile gaskets

Aluweave is a versatile, highly conductive gasket medium produced by filling a woven aluminium mesh with either silicone, flurosilicone or neoprene rubber. It is particularly useful where thicker gaskets are unsuitable but, because it is woven, it is unsuitable for 'landwidths' of less than 3mm for diecut gaskets. Surface irregularities should not exceed 0.05mm.

High performance RFI vents & filter composites

P & P Technology's VP Series of honeycomb ventilation panels can be custom manufactured from steel, brass or stainless steel. When selecting the material, corrosion resistance relevant to the application environment should be considered along with the attenuation requirements.

Conductive silicone

Our E Range gaskets are constructed from silicone containing metal powder fillers which combine to produce high levels of attenuation with excellent environmental shielding and a high level of conductivity.

Attenuation vents

P & P Technology's VH Series of lightweight aluminium honeycomb attenuatung ventilation panels comprise of forms of conductive airflow media retained within an aluminium extrusion. They are designed for use in racks and other forms of commercial enclosure.

Connector Gaskets

P & P Technology manufacture a wide range of connector gaskets, including precision diecut gaskets made from a selection of materials, both conductive and non-conductive. Gaskets can be tailor made to meet individual requirements.

Fully laminated windows

Fully laminated screened windows combine the physical strength and optical clarity of laminated glass or plastic with the shielding effectiveness of fine wire gauze.

Conductive Foil Tapes

P & P Technology's range of conductive foil tape offers a cost effective solution to EMC shielding. Tapes are available in both copper and aluminium with a conductive adhesive. The tapes can be used to seal joints on enclosures and for ground termination between panels on shielded rooms.
