Trimshield EMI Shielding is a composite material made from resilient knitted wire mesh strips which are retained in an aluminum extrusion. It is ideal for use when a rigid gasket is required. The aluminum extrusion acts as a compression stop for the mesh to minimize compression set. Neoprene or silicone sponge may be used for an environmental seal.
Trimshield Strips can be supplied in lengths of up to approximately eight feet. The knitted mesh EMI portion diameter may vary from 0.125 to 0.625 inches. Elastomer/knitted mesh combination should be used for the lower compression force gaskets and to achieve minimum compression set.The extrusion itself can be drilled or punched to suit your specific requirements.
Applications range from small equipment gaskets to seals for personnel access doors.

Trimshield is supplied complete with welded/drilled/packed frames, fitted with mesh/mesh-elastomer gasket and a dust seal ready for easy installation. The dust seal is carefully mitred, with no ragged ends to result in hard-to-compress corners.
Mesh and Environmental Seals
Trimshield is available with any of the mesh configurations offered, in addition to a wide range of environmental seal materials.
Mounting Holes
Frames and strips can be ordered with mounting holes to customer specifications. Locations should be dimensioned from the edge of the extrusion. Welded corners provide dust tight seal.
