Electrically Conductive Silicone Rubber Extrusions
Electrically Conductive Silicone Extrusion
Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd offers a comprehensive range of solid rubber extrusions across multiple material grades and profiles. From simple cords to intricately contoured parts with numerous cavities, our extrusions are designed to provide protection, prevent leakage or ingress of air, fluids, or gases, and offer an aesthetically pleasing finish as edge trims, buffers, or seals.
Many customers choose extrusions made from electrically conductive silicone rubber due to its unique and highly beneficial properties.
What are Electrically Conductive Silicone Rubber Extrusions?
Electrically conductive silicone rubber is a carbon-filled silicone material that functions as a low-amp conductor. It is often used to prevent and control static charge build-up, providing essential protection in sensitive applications where electrostatic discharge (ESD) could pose risks.
The broader term “conductive rubber” refers to silicone or other elastomers that exhibit conductive properties. These materials are commonly used to eliminate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which are prevalent in electronic devices and critical industrial equipment.
An extrusion is a manufacturing process that shapes raw electrically conductive silicone rubber into a specific profile using an extruder machine. The raw material is pushed through a shaped die under high pressure, producing continuous lengths of extruded rubber with a consistent cross-sectional shape, exactly as per the customer’s design specifications.

Features and Applications of Conductive Silicone Rubber Extrusions
Solid or Hollow Profiles: Extrusions can be produced as solid cords or hollow profiles, where a central cavity runs the entire length, leaving the outer wall intact.
Variety of Shapes: Common conductive silicone rubber extrusions include D-sections, P-sections, U-channels, door seals, window seals, and cords. Many of these can also be supplied with a self-adhesive finish for easy installation.
Static Control and EMI Protection: These extrusions are widely used in electronics, automotive, aerospace, and industrial equipment, where controlling static electricity and reducing EMI/RFI noise is crucial.
Durable and Resilient: Made from premium-grade silicone, these extrusions are resistant to temperature extremes, UV exposure, and environmental factors, ensuring long-term performance in demanding conditions.
Electrically Conductive Silicone Extrusions from Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd provide reliable, precise, and versatile solutions for sealing, static control, and EMI protection. Designed to meet exact specifications, they deliver performance, durability, and safety across a wide range of applications.
