Since 1963, Sealing Devices has worked with the sealing industry’s leadingmanufacturers to source the best sealing materials and devices for everyapplication. As our business grew, so did our commitment to meeting thegrowing needs of our customers. To keep pace with our rapidly changingindustry, we have developed services and in-house capabilities specificallyto meet the increased EMI shielding, thermal management and sealingdemands of the electronics industry.
Today, we offer every customer numerousresources. Our sealing professionals have a wealthof experience with virtually every sealing materialand application, along with dedication to meetingnew application challenges. Every day, thousandsof satisfied customers rely on our comprehensiveapproach that includes:
• Customer Service Support Team• Quality Assurance/Quality Control• Contract Manufacturing• Spliced and Vulcanized Elastomers• Supply Chain Management• Manufacturing and Die Cutting• Value-Added Engineering
Sealing Devices is your sealing products partner, offering you not only thebroadest array of seal products and manufacturers, but also extensivedesign, fabrication and technological resources, and most important, theunmatched experience of our people. Call us for your next sealing challenge.
As high performance electronics go into harsher surroundings, theyrequire protection from a range of damaging conditions. Sealing Devicesprovides many specialized products to enhance the effectiveness ofelectronic enclosures.
• Gore Protective Vents guard against damage caused by internalenclosure pressure from altitude, environmental and temperaturevariations by allowing pressure equalization. Membranes allow air andgas to flow freely while preventing water/contaminant ingress,maintaining the enclosure seal. Vents are effective for condensationcontrol, releasing rechargeable battery gas and protecting audiocomponents.
• Rogers Poron Microcellular Urethane foams offer compression setresistance and vibration damping for gap filling, shock/vibrationabsorption and dust sealing. Rogers BISCO closed-cell silicone foamscan be used when greater sealing and temperature resistance isrequired.
• Highly conformable and re-enterable connector seal grommets andsealing strips of Dow Corning Silicone Gel provide sealing protection inenclosures, and provides an effective barrier against corrosion in wetenvironments.
• High strength acrylic VHB Tape material from 3M bonds with highholding strength for dynamic or static stress. The viscoelastic tapesprovide a continuous bond to distribute stress over a wide area while itdampens vibration and seals against environmental conditions. Ideal forjoining dissimilar materials, and reducing potential galvanic corrosion byreplacing fasteners

Conductive Elastomers
Chomerics CHO-SEAL® and CHO-SIL® conductiveelastomers are available in a wide range ofcompounds and fillers to meet your applicationneeds. They feature excellent EMI shielding, with resistance to compression set over a widetemperature range, and also function asenvironmental seals.
Specialty elastomers are available for low closureforce, waveguide, or corrosive environments.Extruded elastomers are available cut-to-lengthin an assortment of high-demand profiles,including Hollow or Solid D, Hollow or Solid O,Hollow P, rectangular, and many others. Manyforms are available with pressure sensitiveadhesives (PSA) applied. Co-extruded strips
of vulcanized conductive and non-conductiveelastomers provide superior performance inaerospace, military and commercial applications.
Today’s high-performance electronic devices
have created a growing range of EMI shielding
requirements. To meet that need, Sealing
Devices offers premier EMI shielding and
thermal management products and solutions
from Parker Chomerics
We also provide true one-call single-source
capabilities, from expert design and fabrication
to a streamlined order process. Exceptional service,
value and the ability to meet extraordinary
application challenges have made us a trusted
supplier for OEM’s throughout the medical, military,
aerospace and commercial electronics industry.
Metals & Mesh
We offer the Chomerics line, the mostcomprehensive range of metal-based EMIgaskets available, including knitted wire mesh,mesh over elastomer core, oriented wires inelastomers, and metal screen- or expandedfoil- impregnated elastomers.
