• EMI-shielding performance at frequencies from 30 MHz up
to 2 GHz
• Excellent dimensional stability
• Must meet robust mechanical property targets including
tensile strength and elongation at break
• Worked in close collaboration with the OEM from
the start of the development process in order to
fully understand their key requirements
• Developed a customized material providing the
required EMI-shielding performance which,
removing the need for secondary metallization
manufacturing processes, reduced cycle time

KEY BENEFITS OF USING COLORMATRIX LIQUID COLOR TECHNOLOGIES
• Preapproved NSL and UL formulations assure regulatory compliance
• Processing flexibility minimizes manufacturing disruptions
• Precision dosing and ease of color change reduce downtime and increase quality output
• Exceptional dispersion and color distribution improve aesthetics
• Enhanced control eliminates color variability and provides batch-to-batch consistency
• Cleaner, safer work area lessens employee stress and reduces risk
• Global footprint alleviates concerns of material and technical service availability
• Certified product development labs fully support material formulation, qualification and testing
• A sustainability focus optimizes raw material usage and operational efficiencies, while providing
energy reduction and lower overall use of TiO2
