| THE PROCESS - WHAT TH!NFILM METALLIZATION IS |
In basic terms, we apply approximately 10,000 angstroms, or about 1 micron, of metal onto plastic, glass or ceramics to add electronic shielding and/or electrostatic discharge protection. But unlike others, we add a special base film to our proprietary process. You achieve an exceptionally lightweight, UL-approved EMI/RFI shield that meets FCC regulations.
And for decorative applications we can apply as little as 200-300 angstroms, allowing for pure reflectivity or light diffusion. To complete this process we then apply a clear top coat to protect the cosmetic surface.
We work with copper, nickel, aluminum and stainless steel. |

| WHY TH!NFILM METALLIZATION |
| |
Th!nFilm Metallization on plastic enclosures gives you significant advantages:
- Excellent EMI/RFI/ESD shielding performance
- A very cost-effective alternative to other shielding methods
- Superior adhesion — durable coating with no flaking after assembly
- Uniform coverage providing repeatable coating thickness and conductivity
- Selective coatings achieved by precision masking
- Coatings can be applied to most plastic, ceramic, glass or metal substrates
- Thin-film coatings don’t interfere with product assembly
- UL approval available on most plastics
- Environmentally friendly process (no VOCs)
