The aerospace industry uses elastomeric materials for environmental sealing, thermal and electrical insulation, and – in some cases – shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Standard…

Compression force deflection (CFD) is the amount of force that’s required to compress an elastomeric material to a specified percentage of its thickness. Because an…

Electrically conductive silicone materials combine environmental sealing with shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Silicone is inherently electrically insulating, but metal or metal-coated fillers are added…

Autonomous vehicles and unmanned systems contain sensors, processors, and communications modules that are subject to electromagnetic interference (EMI). As these platforms add more electronic content,…

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are supporting renewable energy, stabilizing grids, powering electrical vehicle (EV) infrastructure, and enabling distributed energy systems. As BESS increase in…

Robotics and humanoid robots need to exclude dust and moisture while withstanding vibration, temperature extremes, and continuous motion. As these systems become more complex, so…

Silicone gaskets provide dependable thermal management and reliable environmental sealing in artificial intelligence (AI) data centers and high-density computing environments. Whether it’s inside a rack-mounted…

Philadelphia, PA — August 6, 2026 — Stockwell Elastomerics, a leading manufacturer of custom silicone gaskets, conductive elastomer EMI shielding solutions, and precision elastomeric components,…

Closed cell silicone foams seal out water when they are compressed. This makes them a good choice for sealing enclosures against moisture: small amounts of…

Low outgassing, conductive silicones are specialized elastomers that combine shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) with low levels of outgassing: the release of trapped, dissolved, or…
