 Product Overview
Composite
Gask-O-Seals
Parker Gask-O-Seals have the elastomer molded directly in place within the groove or grooves
of a metal or plastic retainer. During assembly, the rubber seal is deformed a predetermined
amount to very nearly fill the void areas to achieve controlled confinement. Gask-O-Seals are
very reliable elastomer-bonded-to-metal or plastic sealing devices intended for applications
requiring extreme reliability, longevity and durability. They are used in a wide range of military,
communications, aircraft and marine applications.

Integral Seals
Integral seals are custom engineered sealing devices designed to solve specific customer
sealing problems. The integral seal design bonds the elastomer sealing element to thin metal
or engineered plastic retainer plates, allowing for a very complex sealing geometry, ease of
assembly and reliable service in a single seal element.

These reliable seals are best suited for high-volume OEM or retrofit applications in automotive,
industrial, aerospace and military applications.

Bonded Piston Seals

Our bonded piston seals are used in automatic transmission applications, differentials and
braking systems. They are manufactured with unique bonding materials and application
techniques, then injection or compression molded to steel, aluminum or plastic. The one-piece
construction reduces components, is easy to assemble, and offers greater reliability over
traditional two-piece construction.

Carrier Gaskets
Our custom designed carrier gaskets are comprised of an elastomeric seal over-molded onto
one or both sides of a thermoplastic nylon carrier. Many material options are available to meet
application requirements, and multiple elastomers can be incorporated into a single gasket,
tuned for multiple fluid medias.

Additional value-added features can be easily built into the design including noise reduction and
oil scraper tabs. The carrier design can also aid in assembly by adding molded-in locator pins or
rubber grippers to the torque limiters, which will hold bolts in place during automatic assembly.

 Product Overview
EMI Shielding
Automated Form-in-Place Elastomer Gaskets
Automated CHOFORM technology dispenses form-in-place conductive elastomer gaskets
on metal or plastic housings. The system applies programmed gasket beads with exceptional
accuracy in three full axes, compensating for uneven surfaces in casting and molded parts
to provide consistent, highly reliable seals. ParPhorm gaskets provide non-conductive
form-in-place seals.

Conductive Adhesives, Coatings & Inks

CHO-SHIELD coatings provide EMI shielding, anti-static protection, corona shielding and
surface grounding in a wide range of applications. CHO-BOND adhesives are electrically
conductive epoxy, silicone and other specialty resins that cure at room temperature, elevated
temperature or in humidity. CHO-FLEX conductive coating is designed for EMI shielding
of flexible circuit laminates; it can be creased, heat-formed or scratched without
affecting performance.

Conductive Elastomers
Versatile CHO-SEAL and CHO-SIL conductive elastomers are available in many application
grades. They can be extruded, molded or die-cut into EMI gaskets or grounding contacts. In
applications for electronic enclosures and handheld devices they can be over-molded onto
metal or plastic substrates or housings. CHO-MUTE RF absorbers are offered as an alterna-
tive to conductive elastomers where microwave absorption is desired as a solution.

Engineered Thermoplastic
Injection molded engineered thermoplastics provide advance solutions to “metal replacement
technology.” Our fully integrated operations provide concept to production support to customers
in a variety of markets. PREMIER is the first commercially available conductive thermoplastic
for real world EMI shielding solutions. It is a blend of PC/ABS thermoplastic polymer alloys
and conductive fillers engineered for stable electrical, mechanical and physical performance.
PREMIER provides world class shielding effectiveness, requires no machining, plating, painting,
vacuum coating, or other added processing steps. The elimination of secondary operations can
reduce costs by up to 50% compared to die castings, bent formed metal, machined extrusions
and plastic plated parts. PREMIER provides cost-efficient EMI shielding for applications in
telecommunications, computer servers, commercial, automotive and defense electronics.

32
Low Closure Force, Foam-Based Gaskets
SOFT-SHIELD gaskets provide choices in price and shielding performance. Available in
lengths, strips and die-cut parts. Materials include conductive fabric, foil/fabric, conductive
yarn and knitted wire jackets over foam cores.

Fingerstock
SPRING-LINE beryllium copper and stainless steel gaskets combine high levels of EMI
shielding effectiveness with spring-finger wiping and low closure force properties. Beryllium
copper’s high tensile strength and superb electrical conductivity are ideal for shielding over a
broad frequency range. SPRING-LINE gaskets are available in bright tin, bright copper and
bright nickel finishes. Standard length (16 inch, 406 mm) and custom length strips are available
in a wide variety of cross sections. For low compression grounding contacts, individual fingers
are available with pressure sensitive adhesive for convenient peel and stick application.

Shielded Ventilation Panels

Shielded vent panels provide high levels of EMI shielding in applications such as computer
network and wireless infrastructure cabinets. These vent panels feature aluminum honeycomb
within rolled aluminum frames. The result is a lightweight, high airflow solution for enclosures
requiring both cooling and high levels (50 dB at 10 GHz) of shielding. An optional intumescent
coating provides fire barrier properties. On exposure to flame or heat at 300°F (149°C) the
coating expands rapidly to fill the honeycomb cells and prevent flame passage. Standard
panels feature 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) honeycomb cells, 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) thick. Complete frame/
honeycomb assemblies are chromate conversion coated.

Metal Gaskets
Wire mesh EMI gaskets include knitted mesh strips, mesh frame gaskets, compressed mesh
and wire mesh with elastomer cores. SOFT-SHIELD gaskets meet the needs of low-cost, low
closure-force shielding applications.

33
 Product Overview
Thermal Management
Heat Spreaders
T-WING and C-WING heat spreaders provide a low-cost, effective means of cooling IC
devices in restricted spaces where conventional heat sinks aren’t appropriate. They typically
provide junction temperature reduction of 68°F (20°C) when applied on microprocessors and
cache chips in laptop PCs and other high density, handheld electronics, and on disk drives.
They’re easily added by peel and stick application.

Phase-Change Thermal Interface Materials

THERMFLOW materials are thermally enhanced polymers designed to minimize the thermal
resistance between power dissipating electronic components and their associated heat sinks.
This low thermal resistance path maximizes heat sink performance and improves the reliability
of microprocessors, memory modules, DC/DC converters and power modules.

Thermally Conductive Adhesive Tapes

THERMATTACH tapes are double-sided adhesive systems that replace mechanical
fasteners for bonding heat sinks to ceramic or metal packages. They provide excellent
thermal, mechanical, environmental and chemical properties.

Thermally Conductive Fully Cured Dispensable Gap Fillers

THERM-A-GAP Dispensable Gap Fillers are ideal for applications where gap filling pads
overstress component solder joints and leads which can result in catastrophic system failure.
These materials are highly conformable, one component, pre-cured silicone gels that can be
dispensed to fill large and uneven gaps in electronics assemblies.

34
Thermally Conductive Gap Fillers
THERM-A-GAP elastomers are used to fill air voids between PC boards or high temperature
components and heat sinks, metal enclosures and chassis. The exceptional conformability
of these advanced materials enables them to blanket highly uneven surfaces, transferring
heat away from individual components or entire boards and allowing chassis parts to be
used as heat spreaders where space is restricted.

Thermally Conductive Insulators

CHO-THERM thermally conductive, electrically insulating interface materials consist of
silicone, fiberglass and ceramics. They are produced with numerous thermally conductive,
dielectric fillers that transfer heat from electronic components to heat sinks or other heat
sinking devices.

Thermal Greases and Gels

Our thermal grease is formulated to efficiently conduct heat and fill the voids between
hot components and heat sinks. These are non-curing, dispensable, highly conformable
materials which require no cure cycle or mixing and dispenses to fill highly variable toler-
ances in electronics assemblies. The material is thermally stable. They require virtually no
compressive force to deform under assembly pressure leaving solder joints and leads
stress free.
