Are you looking for an effective solution to shield your devices from electromagnetic interference? Discover how LATISHIELD thermoplastic compounds can protect your circuits and ensure optimal performance.
What is Electromagnetic Interference?
Imagine being surrounded by a sea of invisible waves: electromagnetic interference (EMI). These waves, generated by electronic devices and electrical sources, can cause malfunctions, data loss, and compromise the security of your systems. Traditionally, metallic materials like aluminum or steel were used to shield devices. However, these materials have some limitations: they are heavy, rigid, and can affect product design.
Thus, thermoplastic compounds designed for shielding electric and magnetic fields were developed, formulated to combine performance, safety, cost, and ease of processing.
How Do LATISHIELD Thermoplastic Compounds Work?
LATISHIELD thermoplastic compounds offer an innovative and versatile solution. These materials are made of conductive polymers and are lightweight, flexible, and easy to work with, allowing for customized shielding and direct integration into product design. Classic solutions involve dispersing metal fibers in the polymer to form a sort of “Faraday cage.” When an electromagnetic wave encounters this cage, it is deflected and dissipated, thus protecting the internal components of the device.
LATI now offers a wide portfolio of next-generation shielding products designed for emerging industrial sectors, where requirements are becoming increasingly sophisticated: from e-mobility to data transmission, radar sensing to RFID systems.
