Thermoplastic Compounds for EMI Shielding
Thermoplastic compounds for EMI shielding offer reliability and value in a wide range of applications where electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is required. These specialty compounds give designers and processors tremendous flexibility and significant benefits over metals and metalized plastics.
This section contains EMI shielding effectiveness data for selected RTP Company compounds. It was generated utilizing ASTM D-4935: Standard Test Method for Measuring the Electromagnetic Shielding Effectiveness of Planar Materials.
| Base Polymer | RTP Series | |
|---|---|---|
| ABS | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene | RTP 600 Series |
| PA 66 | Nylon 6/6 | RTP 200 Series |
| PC | Polycarbonate | RTP 300 Series |
| PC/ABS | PC/ABS Alloys | RTP 2500 Series |
| PEI | Polyetherimide | RTP 2100 Series |
