P-SHIELD® Fabric Tapes

Polymer Science has an extensive product line that includes single-sided conductive fabric tapes and double-side conductive fabric tapes. Our P-SHIELD® catalog includes conductive-woven fabric tapes, non-woven fabric tapes and ripstop fabric tapes. These polyester fabric tapes are very receptive to the plating compounds we use including nickel, copper and gold. Our most common adhesive coatings are conductive acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) and heat-activated adhesive. 

Polymer Science combines decades of experience in designing adhesives, tapes and coatings for medical, electronics and other industries. We use our cumulative knowledge to provide simple and elegant products to our clients. For example, one of our most popular products, PS-1326, is a 0.055mm Thickness Electrically Conductive Woven Fabric with Conductive Acrylic PSA. This tape combines ultra-thin strong materials to contour and bond within your application with our acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). Polymer Science P-SHIELD® fabric tapes are proven to adhere well to a variety of substrates, around tight angles and irregular surfaces.

Polymer Science P-SHIELD® fabric tapes effectively shield over a wide frequency range. Most of our tapes are plated with conductive copper nickel while others are gold plated. The thickness of fabric tape is also determined by your needs. Our staff is very responsive to inquiries and helps our clients identify the best tapes to suit your application and manufacturing process. 

Many applications benefit from heat-activated adhesives. The primary benefit of these tapes is the ease of handling. There is no tack so the tape does not stick to itself or any other surface prior to a heat source activating the adhesive. As electronic designs become more compact, this characteristic is valued because the tape can be worked like a dry material around tight spaces and into crevices and small gaps.

Beyond EMI shielding and grounding, fabric tapes may provide passive solutions including controlling light within casings. Polymer Science continues to expand our products to meet the challenges of our clients and the rapidly evolving electronics marketplace. When you need a shielding and grounding material, contact a team with extensive experience and the ability to quickly produce the right solution for you.

Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicle (EV) design is evolving rapidly. Manufacturers rely on Polymer Science’s proven products for shielding and grounding throughout EV, advanced battery and conventional automotive. P-SHIELD® fabric tapes provide durable solutions to control electromagnetic problems. Polymer Science researches the best fabrics to optimize performance, maximize durability and minimize weight. We are customer-focused and respond to your needs with fast and nimble solutions.

Solar

Polymer Science embraces all new technology with research and development of new products. Our decades of experience in industries like smartphones, computers, consumer electronics, automotive and aerospace apply directly to solar energy. P-SHIELD® fabric tapes have multiple uses with solar including EMI shielding & grounding of inverters, power conversion and more.

Computers

Like most electronic devices, computer designs are more compact than ever. P-SHIELD® fabric tapes provide reliable X Y Z axis conductivity, EMI shielding & grounding. The strength of our fabrics and the bond of our adhesives help them perform well in computer applications.

Smartphones

There is very limited space within smartphones. Polymer Science P-SHIELD® fabric tapes may serve multiple functions while being exceptionally thin and lightweight. Pressure sensitive adhesives provide strong bonds. Conductive fabrics are wrinkle-free and non-abrasive to other surfaces within tightly packed housings. Fabric tape can also block light and fill gaps within smartphones and other devices.

Tablets

Similar to smartphones, tablets demand durability and lightweight solutions. Fabric tapes contour to tight spaces and irregular surfaces within these housings. Our conductive adhesives and tapes manage electricity within the most compact designs.

Navigation & Infotainment Systems

Devices within vehicles including GPS navigation & infotainment systems benefit from Polymer Science. P-SHIELD® fabric tapes, foam tapes, foil tapes and conductive adhesives are used throughout these devices. Whether solving shielding problems, filling gaps or even deadening noise, Polymer Science designs help manufacturers bring durable products to market.

Touchscreens

At our fingertips, touchscreens revolutionize how we interact with devices. The products designed and engineered by Polymer Science help touchscreens work. Our materials fill gaps, secure housings, protect delicate components, and P-SHIELD® tapes shield and ground from internal and external noise and electrical current.

Real-time Location Systems

Even in the most delicate situations, the durability of Polymer Science P-SHIELD® tapes is impactful. Infant protection and geriatric bands keep the wearer safe and secure in combination with proximity alarms which prevent unintended straying from secured areas within a clinical or non-clinical setting.

Smart Home

Throughout many homes, smart devices connect our appliances, lights, televisions and speakers to the internet. Within every device, solving EMI challenges is vital to the function of this network. Our P-SHIELD® tapes, coatings and adhesives help manufacturers build durable and effective smart home products.

Consumer IoT Devices

The rise in smart devices extends to many consumer wearables. Consumer IoT (CIoT) includes smartphones, smart home devices, smart watches, rings and other devices we use everyday. These technologies connect and share data across our world. Polymer Science P-SHIELD® products help control EMI and keep these products running.
