In this post, we focus on die-cut foil tapes for EMI shielding. Foil tapes with conductive adhesive provide effective shielding properties as the thin foil layer ensures good electrical contact with the component surface. Let's take a look deeper at EMI and why foil tapes may be the best-suited material for your application.  ### What is EMI and Why is it Important? Electromagnetic interference is unwanted “noise” or interference in an electrical path or circuit caused by an outside source. EMI can be caused by natural or man-made sources and can cause electronics to malfunction or to completely stop working. Therefore, EMI shielding and grounding components are important pieces in the design of electronic devices.  [Read More](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/die-cut-foil-tapes) Topics: [EMI Shielding](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/emi-shielding), [Foil Tape](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/foil-tape) ## [Common Materials for EMI Shielding Gaskets and Ground Paths](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/common-emi-materials) Posted by [Katie Sullivan](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/author/katie-sullivan) July 8, 2021 9:43 AM [![Common Materials for EMI Shielding Gaskets and Ground Paths](https://blog.marianinc.com/hubfs/EMI-Gaskets.jpg)](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/common-emi-materials) The need for EMI gaskets is growing as more high-frequency [digital electronics](https://marianinc.com/markets/electronics/) are introduced into our everyday lives.

EMI consistently attempts to sabotage our most critical technologies in the [aerospace](https://marianinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Marian-Solutions-for-Aerospace-WEB-072324.pdf), [consumer electronics](https://marianinc.com/markets/electronics/), mass transit, [medical](https://marianinc.com/markets/medical/), and military industries. ## What is Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)? EMI engages us through maneuvers such as radio transmitters, electric motors, power lines, fluorescent lights and computer circuits. Through these maneuvers, EMI generates electromagnetic disturbances, signals and emissions that cause undesired responses or degradation of performance in electrical and electronic equipment. This occurrence leads to system malfunctions and failures, which can threaten the performance of life support devices, military radio frequencies and aircraft flight controls – to name a few examples. Malfunctioning or failure of these types of systems, triggered by EMI, can be problematic, dangerous and life-threatening.

Conductive silicone materials can include the following filler materials: nickel, graphite, silver, copper, and aluminum. Particle-filled silicone materials provide shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Silicone in itself boasts a number of tremendous properties, including high performance at extreme temperatures (-50°C - 350°C), durability and abrasion resistance, chemical stability, and electrical insulation. This combination of features makes particle-filled silicone materials ideal for EMI seals and gaskets in a range of applications and industries, including the demanding applications of the [military and aerospace industries](https://marianinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Marian-Solutions-for-Aerospace-WEB-072324.pdf). Some designers have concerns about using particle-filled silicone. Silicone has desirable material properties, but loading a high percentage of particle filler into the rubber in an effort to increase conductivity can result in negative tradeoffs. Typically, industry professionals worry that particle filled electrically conductive silicone will exhibit the following negative material features: - too hard - too brittle - too expensive - have long lead times - limited by mold size dimensions - not thin enough for newer, thinner designs [Read More](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/particle-filled-silicones) Topics: [EMI Shielding](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/emi-shielding) [All posts](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/all) This is a search field with an auto-suggest feature attached. -
