MG Chemicals ER series are epoxy conductive paints that are designed for protection against EMI/RFI. They offer superior durability and resistance to solvents compared to other chemistries. These 2-part systems are suitable either in harsh environments with direct chemical exposure or for use on substrates like metal and concrete.
- 2-part systems
- Superior adhesion to metals and concrete
- Excellent abrasion resistance
- Enhanced resistance against solvents
- Withstands wave solder temperatures exceeding 260°C
- Military and commercial electronic enclosures
- Avionic systems
- Shielding paint for flooring
- Conductive coating for electroplating metals
- Shielding in harsh environments like engine hoods
– Nickel conductive paint for electroplating metals
– Silver conductive paint for premium shielding performance
– Silver-coated copper conductive paint which balances cost and EMI performance
