SILICONE ADHESIVE
CUSTOM-ENGINEERED
SHIELDING PRODUCTS

METEX has been a pioneer
in EMI/RFI gasketing and
shielding products for more
than five decades. In fact,
METEX developed the very
first EMI/RFI gasket to help
MIT solve a severe interference problem for the earliest
high-power, high-frequency
airborne radar.
That pioneering spirit is
still alive today—with a complete line of military and
commercial-grade EMI/RFI
shielding solutions.
As communications and
information technologies
expand, the need to provide
EMI/RFI solutions becomes
more critical than ever
before.

Metex Conductive Silicone Adhesive is an RTV silicone, loaded with electrically conductive metallic particles. A variety of conductive filler materials
are available to suit a variety of bonding and sealing applications.
METEX Conductive Silicone Adhesive is easy to apply, has an extremely
high bond strength, provides superior shielding performance and is available in
custom formulations to meet special requirements and applications.
Conductive Silicone Adhesive is available in standard metal tube or cartridge containers of 1.0 fluid oz., 2.5 fluid oz., or 10.3 fluid oz. sizes. Clean surfaces using acetone, MEK, xylene, or isopropyl alcohol. Shelf life of unopened
containers is six months from date of shipment, provided that materials are
stored dry, below 23°C. Consult the factory if a pure silver filler adhesive with a
volume resistivity of .005 is required.
