Endless gasket (EMC/IP)

The 8000 series Endless gaskets are ready-made gaskets according to customer specifications. They are suitable for many applications where both an EMI-shielding gasket and a water seal are required.

The 8000 series Endless gasket consists of a rectangular EMI gasket like Amucor shielding gasket, Standard shield or Ultra soft shield, combined with a closed-cell water seal.

All gaskets can be provided with a self-adhesive strip for easy mounting. Gasket materials for the 8000 series Endless gaskets are watertight at 30% compression, depending on the construction.
