KGS Metallized Fabrics for Electromagnetic Shielding
In order to protect the environment and/or electronic devices from electromagnetic or radio-frequency interference, KGS has developed a specialized range of metallized textile products. The nickel plated products are based on a wide variety of fabrics. Here is a non-exhaustive list:
• Monofilament polyester
• Multifilament polyester
• Non-woven fabrics
• Jersey
• and - as an exception to the synthetic fibre range - copper wire mesh
• Other fabrics like tulle, glass fibre mat, steel mesh, etc, can be metallized to order
KGS metallized fabrics for EMI/RFI shielding offer the following features:
• Excellent shielding performance
• Low specific weight
• Mechanical flexibility
• Permeability to air
• Transparency to visible light (depending upon the type)
• Conformability and ease to assembly: Metallized fabrics can be cut like plain textiles, applied on walls like wallpaper, assembled with a small glued or stitched overlap, be painted or covered with usual floor or wall coverings
• Moderate installed cost due to this easy handling
• Durability and resistance to corrosion
