Key Features & Benefits Provides over 52 dB of RFI shielding at frequencies below 1 MHz Excellent adhesion on most injection-molded plastics such as ABS, PVC, and polycarbonate Strong corrosion resistance, suitable for marine and humid environments HAP-free formulation (contains no toluene or xylene), with a mild solvent system safe on polystyrenes Quick-drying acrylic lacquer requiring no heat cure Specifications Net volume: 442 mL (12 oz aerosol can) Net weight: 340 g Surface resistance (one coat): approximately 170 Ω/□ at 1 mil (≈ 25 µm) thickness Temperature range: –40 °C to 120 °C Recoat interval: minimum 3 minutes Full cure: 24 hours Shelf life: 3 years RoHS compliant Typical Installation & Usage Scenario Clean the substrate (for example, an ABS panel) with isopropyl alcohol to remove oils and contaminants. Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure pigment dispersion. Hold the can 20–30 cm from the surface and apply light, even coats. Allow a minimum of three minutes between coats; build up thickness with successive passes. After the final coat, permit 24 hours for a full cure before handling or grounding connections. This process yields a uniform conductive layer ideal for shielding electronics enclosures, grounding contact points on test fixtures, lining guitar pickup cavities, or reinforcing metal-detector housings without adding excessive weight.
