Specialist Coatings

Chingfords carry out a range of on site services as detailed below.

Conductive Coatings

We offer a specially formulated electrically conductive coating for metallic and plastic substrates which can be used for either electro magnetic compapibility or electrostatic discharge requirements. the resultant coating offers a resistivity of less than 1 ohm per inch².

Electromagnetic Shield-Coatings

The electromagnetic sheild coating has been manufactured to meet the strictest control of electrical interference. It is formulated utilizing specially prepared metallic nickel to provide electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) on plastic housings for a wide range of electronic equipment. This highly conductive coating then provides an effective sheilding against radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI) and protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD). The coating offers a dry film thickness of 50µm.

The coating is available for direct application on thermoplastics although priming is nessessary for thermoset plastics, including glass reinforced polyester, glass reinforced phenolics, SMC, DMC and polyurethane foam mouldings.
