Low-density EMI shielding fillers cut excess vehicle weight without restricting creative options

 

Less is more
According to recent studies, vehicles could be up to 35% lighter. This kind of weight loss can result in up to a 20% fuel consumption reduction. But to achieve more complex designs requires innovative technologies and materials. This is where conductive plastics shine.

Every gram counts
Car manufacturers are in a race to reduce vehicle weight without sacrificing features. The improvement of automatic braking, lane departure, and other ADAS demand shielding against electromagnetic intereference. EMI's disruptive nature requires effective shielding solutions found in that of stainless steel fibers.

 

Conductive metal fibers
While a range of materials exist, stainless steel fibers offer electrically and thermally conductive properties. Aside from being temperature and chemical resistant, stainless steel fibers offer shielding between 20 to 60 dB, all the way up to 80 dB (in some cases).

Low density metal fibers
Stainless steel fibers have a higher density than carbon-based fillers gram for gram. This enables higher shielding effectiveness at a lower weight. In other words, our stainless steel filler provide higher shielding performance with fewer fibers.

Preventing EMI

EMI prevention doesn't have to be complicated. In fact, creating a conductive matrix is as simple as adding stainless steel fibers to plastic components. And because it's stainless steel, you can protect sensitive components with limited influence on the final color and shape of your design. With conductive plastics, you can:

  • Design with confidence
  • Shield with integrity
  • Improve fuel efficiency
