CP-SA Conductive Paints and Coatings

Conductive paints and coatings improve the protection of electronic equipment against electromagnetic interference (EMI). They form a durable layer that conducts electricity and can even prevent the buildup of static electricity. Designing this into the equipment housing is also crucial to ensure proper shielding. Nowadays, plastic is commonly used because it is lightweight, portable, attractive, and inexpensive. However, plastic does not protect equipment from interference, which means it can be damaged. "Metallization" is a method of applying a metallic coating to plastic that provides EMI protection and ensures that the equipment meets EMC requirements. Conductive colloids are metal-loaded resin-based materials that are sprayed on. Metal serves as a reflective or absorbing barrier to RFI and EMI and typically comes in the form of flake or granule layers. Paints with various powder fillers and resin-elastomer binders are available to suit most applications and finishes. The most popular materials include nickel, copper, copper hybrid, silver hybrid, and silver.
