Conductive coatings for EMI/RFI shielding
Growth in the market for electronic equipment in both industry and the domestic sphere has brought unusual prominence to the problem of electromagnetic shielding.
The typical sheet resistance is less than 0.1ohm/square.
ECW225 is a silver-plated copper loaded paint applied to a nominal thickness of 25um.
The typical sheet resistance is less than 0.05ohm/square.
Both paints offer very high levels of shielding and are formulated using water-based technology to provide: reduced impact/stress cracking on sensitive substrates, including polycarbonate; and easier compliance with the latest environmental legislation.
These paints are applied both manually and robotically.
ACT uses a Staubli six-axis robot for the application of conductive coatings, which was purposely designed to recognise over 200 different parts.
This allows even small-medium volume production runs to be automated, achieving greater throughputs and consistency and lower paint usage.
The company will be exhibiting samples illustrating the various coatings available at PDM 2006 exhibition in Telford.
