Shielding Data
Shielding effectiveness measured using shielded room test MIL-STD 285 - 3mm thick plaque. 1% volume steel fiber.
Other binders are available - ECP 16E using nylon 6/12 binder 25% by weight for use with nylon 6, 6/6, 6/10 6/12, PBT, PET. ECP 20E with a polycarbonate binder 40% by weight, for use with polycarbonate, polysulphone, PES, PET, PEJ, PBT. The masterbatch is added at very low levels ensuring minimal effect on color, mouldability and other base polymer properties by 1% by volume. The use of this system allows EMI shielded articles to be produced in one process without additional equipment, labor or secondary processing and provides a cost-effective solution to EMI shielding problems.
