Conductive Coatings and Plating Processes 

for Superior Conductive EMI/RFI Shielding 

Coatings and Plating Processes for Superior EMI/RFI Shielding 

E/M Coating Services is the industry leader in applying conductive coating and electroless plating 

processes for EMI/RFI shielding and semiconductive coating processes for electrostatic dissipation. 

Conductive Coatings for EMI/RFI Shielding 

E/M Coating Services applies a broad range of EMI/RFI shielding processes 

that ensure the reliable performance of electronic devices. As a long-time 

leader in applying engineered coating solutions, our cost-effective processes 

meet shielding and ground plane needs, ranging from FCC and European 

Union compliance to critical shielding and electrical bonding requirements for 

aircraft, missile and medical components. 

Semiconductive Coatings for Electrostatic Control 

Smaller electronic components are particularly susceptible to damage or failure 

due to electrostatic discharge. In the search for ways to ensure the operational 

integrity of new, high performance products, electronics manufacturers turn to 

E/M Coating Services for their application needs. E/M Coating Services can 

apply coatings that can provide: 

• Surface resistivity of 1 x 105 to 1 x 1012 • Outstanding corrosion protection 

• Good lubricity on high friction surfaces 

• Excellent wear resistance 

• High temperature and cryogenic stability 

E/M has numerous UL recognitions under QMRX2, which applies to the application 

of conductive coatings that conform to UL 746C adhesion test procedures.
