Metallization on plastics for EMI shielding.

Electronics are present in all equipment (plastic housings) in the industrial and home sectors, in means of transport, in medical/sanitary, aerospace and defense instruments. To have optimal functionality, reducing electromagnetic interference, this equipment must be properly shielded. The use of plastic makes it possible to obtain design objects, articulated geometries, functional and lightweight containers for electrical and electronic parts. A shielding coating, obtained by metal deposition, helps to reduce or eliminate electromagnetic interference on all this equipment and instruments. SIVE has been applying this type of coating for more than 25 years, with different processes: chemically (electroless), by spray, high vacuum PVD. The deposits of aluminum, copper, nickel, tin, silver on components, even with very complex geometries, even selectively, make it possible to obtain solutions adapted to different needs, to obtain the “cage of Faraday. Over the years, we have developed a particular and distinctive know-how: selectivity, achieved with great precision. The metal layer is deposited only where it is needed. Thanks to our expertise in equipment development, we are able to offer an extremely precise degree of selectivity even on very complex geometric shapes. Whether prototypes, small batches or large-scale production, our process ensures that your electronic tools and equipment are adequately protected from electromagnetic interference.
