In 1965 Ja-Bar began utilizing our unmatched expertise in silicone elastomer technology to develop EMI/RFI shielding materials. The first shielding material to ship from our production floor was our Wire Mesh in silicone. 

While Series 600 development Team was progressing, a need for thinner, flatter metallic shielding gaskets, spawned our development of Silicone filled woven and expanded metallic sheeting. Our unique processing capabilities provide for immediate electrical continuity on contact, with environmental sealing obtained under proper torque pressures. With the original manufacturing techniques still in tact (well almost), we’ve again cornered the production market of our now well known Series 900 Expanded Metal/Screen Cloth Elastomer Combinations.

With the Military, Automotive, and Consumer Electronics Industries starving for qualified economical alternatives to once patented conductive silicone technology, Ja-Bar entered into yet another facet of EMI/RFI Shielding seals. Conductive Particle Filled Elastomers, our Series 800. In 1985, with compounds developed to meet or exceed the competitions, Ja-Bar qualified for, what was then referred to as Mil-G-83528, now known as MIL-DTL-83528 . We maintain the QPL status for these materials, and have added essential variations to these compounds to accommodate both the military and commercial market’s sealing, shielding, and survivability needs. With over 5500 proven Electrically Conductive, Electrically Insulative, and Electrically Insulative-Thermally Conductive compounds, formulated by Ja-Bar Silicone personnel, at our disposal, we’re able to offer the appropriate, conductivity, Shore A & OO hardness, Tensile, Tear, Compression Set, and Elongation characteristics, to meet your applications needs.

During our applications engineering efforts, we found the Military, Automotive, and Consumer Electronics Industries were still searching for Shielding Materials not yet at our disposal. So, we made them available. We added Shielded Optical Filters, Series 100 , fully machined and terminated at Ja-Bar. We added, through close affiliates, Knitted Wire mesh, Series 300, and Wire mesh / Elastomer combination seals, Series 400 & Series 500, Honeycomb Ventilation Panels, Series 200 , Metalized Fabric over Foam, Series 577, with limitless profiles, and BeCu Finger stock, Series 350. To tie it all together, or should we say, glue it all together, we developed an unmatched Series of Conductive Adhesive Systems, Series 000, meeting the needs of nearly every manufacturing environment, customizable to your specific requirement, if not already available. Well, we’re getting tired of talking about us, let’s hear you talk about us.

Give us a look at your, most current, most difficult, or least cost efficient sealing application, and let us do our job, "seal it".

Ja-Bar, let us be your Complete Proven Source.
