P-SHIELD® Foil Tapes
Polymer Science engineers a number of foil tapes for managing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and grounding solutions. P-SHIELD® foil tapes by Polymer Science provide exceptional shielding effectiveness from a flexible material.
P-SHIELD® Foil Tapes
Since there are no pinholes or any openings in a foil tape for a wave to pass through, P-SHIELD® foil tapes ground quickly and efficiently. For applications where the landing zone is limited to millimeters, conductive foil tape provides high adhesion and excellent flexibility. Polymer Science is able to identify the basic properties and work with you to narrow a product selection based on your requirements from single coated to multi-laminate conductive tapes.
Foil tape is thin, lightweight, durable and malleable. Polymer Sciences offers varieties of copper and aluminum foil tapes. Both materials contour around tight angles and conform to irregular surfaces. Most P-SHIELD® foil tapes are laminated with a conductive acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). A key quality of this coating is good wet out on many surfaces. These tapes are economical and offer superior EMI protection for applications including connected driving, smartphones, tablets, computers and other electronics.
We feature a number of technical data sheets for our most popular conductive copper and aluminum foil tapes including black conductive copper, anisotropic conductive aluminum foil with nonconductive acrylic PSA. As technologies change, Polymer Science is constantly researching and working to create new solutions. Beyond our published foil tapes, we offer trilaminates and conductive foil without adhesives. Our talented team is always eager to design and manufacture custom solutions for our partners.
