			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>“GRADE 2800”<br />
70 Shore “A”</h5>
<h5>DESCRIPTION</h5>
<p>Fiberglass reinforced silicone sheeting is typically used for gaskets or seals requiring a resilient, non porous sheet material suitable for operating temperatures from -100 to 500F but is not limited to such applications.</p>
<p>The material is resistant to deterioration by weathering and engine oil and remains flexible over the temperature range noted. Fiberglass reinforced silicone sheet is available in many different thicknesses.</p>
<p>The fiberglass is centered between the 2 layers of silicone that gives the material dimensional stability and higher tensile strength.</p>
<h5>FEATURES</h5>
<p>Excellent Gasketing Material<br />
Extreme High &amp; Low Temperature Resistant<br />
UV / Ozone Resistant<br />
Non- Toxic, Chemically Inert<br />
All FDA approved Ingredients<br />
Low Compression Set<br />
Fungus Resistant</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>XYZ-Axis Electrically Conductive Adhesive Transfer Tape for LSE Substrates and High Temperature Applications</h5>
<p>3M™ XYZ-Axis Electrically Conductive Adhesive Transfer Tape 9719 is a silicone adhesive isotropically conductive pressure sensitive tape.</p>
<p>Tape 9719 conducts electricity through the thickness (Z-axis) and in the plane of the adhesive (X, Y planes) and is suitable for low surface energy (LSE*) EMI/RFI shield and EMI/RFI gasket attachment to metal surfaces. The tape consists of a high performance, low surface energy 3M adhesive loaded with conductive fibers.</p>
<p>The result is a double-sided tape providing both good adhesion and good electrical performance. The conductive fibers in tape 9719 also provide improved handling characteristics.</p>
<p>XYZ-Axis Electrically Conductive tape 9719 is suitable for attaching Low Surface Energy (LSE) EMI shields to electronic and electrical devices where high temperature performance (up to 400°F [204°C]) is required.</p>
<p>Tape 9719 may be used with many types of foil laminate shields, to provide a customized shielding solution. This tape may also be used to attach conductive fabric/foam core EMI gaskets to electronic cabinetry. Tape 9719 may be applied in strips or die cut to specific shapes and sizes.</p>
<p>Compared to screws or other mechanical connectors, tape 9719 provides reduced assembly time and a solid bond line with no gaps that might result in EMI emission.</p>
