Conductive coatings
RF/EMI conductive coatings are typically used when an enclosure or structure is made from plastic, composite materials, or other non-conductive materials that do not inherently provide EMC shielding.
The coatings create a conductive shielding layer that can be applied to the interior or exterior surfaces of an enclosure. They are particularly suitable for applications where the use of a metal enclosure is not feasible or practical.
