Conductive Coatings

 

 

Conductive coatings consist of a metallized layer deposited through thin film (evaporation or sputtering), plating, or thermal spray processes. They are applied to enclosures that house electronic components in order to provide shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Conductive coatings are also used to provide dissipation and control of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Polymer-based coatings with metal or conductive fillers are suitable for both EMI shielding and static control. Circuitry and antennas can be formed on dielectric substrates by using lithography, screen printing, or other patterning methods to apply the conductive coating material. Materials with a combination of conductivity and high relative magnetic permeability are the most effective in EMI shielding.
