Elamet® is the world class thin film application process for the reduction and/or elimination of unwanted EMI/RFI emissions and/or control of ESD. The process application is through a clean, environmentally safe vacuum deposition process. In service for over thirty (30) years on millions of parts, the system employs the deposition of a thin conductive film on virtually any plastic substrate. It is the standard of quality and environmental sensitivity for companies large and small throughout the world.
Major users include IBM, Hewlett Packard, Sony, Nokia, Motorola, Ivac, BMW and hundreds of other users small and large throughout the world.
Elamet thin film coatings do not interfere with assembly operations, are exceptionally cost effective and provide for the highest level of suppression available without any compromises to recyclability or green manufacturing standards.

Notes:
Elamet coatings are available with an environmental top coating for applications where severe moisture and/or corrosion exposure may be experienced.
1 Sheet film resistance values are always expressed in the form of milliohms per square, a unitless measure. See our technical notes for a complete description for how to measure thin film values.
2 Elamet 250 is frequently specified as the standard for ESD protection.
