Parker Chomerics SOFT-SHIELD® 1000 series high durability gaskets are made of urethane foam wrapped in a fine knitted wire mesh (Monel or Ferrex) and are meant for low compression force, electronic enclosure sealing applications where weather sealing is not a requirement.

Monel is a nickel-copper alloy per QQ-N-281. Ferrex is a Parker Chomerics-created tin-plated, copper-clad, steel wire per ASTM B-520. The wire mesh has a 0.0035-inch diameter and a wire density of 10-15 courses per inch of length (CPI).

SOFT-SHIELD® 1000 is available in 7 standard rectangular cross sections and is supplied either on rolls or cut to length. These gaskets are available with an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) option for quick, efficient application.
