Nora Dell nickel-copper-silver fabric is a breakthrough material that meets rigid performance requirements for EMI shielding, according to Shieldex Trading.

Finding the right materials is the heart of the EMI shielding design process and Nora Dell surpasses manufacturers' expectations with great flexibility and high conductivity.

The unique structure of fabric, plating and coatings enhance the lightweight fabric's durability and corrosion resistance.

Shieldex Trading's exclusive coating and plating systems starts with nylon rip-stop base fabric, and then securely plates it with three different metals, silver, copper and nickel.

The exclusive coating assures abrasion and corrosion resistance.

Each part has been designed to assist the fabrication of effective shielding from cable shielding to garments to shielded rooms to fabric over foam gaskets, to I/O and flat panel shielding.

Shielding effectiveness in the range 30MHz to 10GHz is an average of 85dB.

"We started from scratch to engineer a new material that has more usable features without compromising its shielding effectiveness", stated Bill Hoge, Managing Director of Shieldex Trading US.

"The new Nora Dell fabric achieves that goal with an easy to fabricate material that is environmentally stable and has very low flex cracking as well as excellent UV stability".
