Learn all about nickel-coated graphite fillers

Hart Coating Technology has published a brief technical information bulletin describing the properties and applications of nickel-coated graphite fillers.

Hart Coating Technology has published a brief technical information bulletin describing the properties and applications of nickel-coated graphite fillers.

Since the enactment of the EU Directive 89/336/EEC in 1996 it has been a legal requirement that all electronic equipment manufactured or imported into the EU must be shielded from radiofrequency and electromagnetic interference.

As a result a whole new branch of technology has developed that is devoted to providing solutions to shielding problems.

One of the major requirements of the shielding industry has been for electrically conductive gaskets to provide interference shielding at joints between component parts of enclosures that contain electronic circuits.

Nickel-coated graphite has proved a very effective conductive filler for inclusion into this type of gasket.

It provides a very high level of shielding attenuation at a much lower cost than silver-based materials and has, as a result, become the material of choice for this application.
