Plastic-Metals Technologies (PMT) specializes in providing customized EMI/RFI shielding solutions for a variety of industries. They use various techniques, primarily thermal evaporation vapor deposition, to create high-quality shielding solutions that meet the unique needs of their customers.
EMI/RFI shielding is critical for preventing electromagnetic interference and radio-frequency interference, which can cause significant problems for electronic devices. Without proper shielding, electronic devices can experience reduced performance, increased noise levels, and even complete failure.
PMT's thermal evaporation vapor deposition process (also known as “Vacuum Metallization”) involves heating a metal source material to a high temperature, causing it to vaporize and deposit onto a substrate, which is typically a plastic or composite component. This process creates a thin film of the metal that forms a dense conductive shield, blocking electromagnetic radiation and preventing interference.
One advantage of using thermal evaporation vapor deposition is that it can be used to create a very thin film of metal that is highly uniform and adheres well to the substrate. This allows for precise control over the thickness and properties of the shield, resulting in optimal shielding performance.
PMT offers a range of metals for thermal evaporation vapor deposition, including aluminum, copper, nickel, NiCr, and stainless steel. Each metal has its own unique properties that make it suitable for specific applications. For example, silver has the highest conductivity of any metal and is often used for high-performance applications, while aluminum is more cost-effective, still high performing, and is commonly used for consumer electronics.
PMT's EMI/RFI shielding solutions are used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, medical, automotive, test & measurement, and telecommunications. Their shielding solutions have been rigorously tested and proven to provide reliable protection against electromagnetic interference and radio-frequency interference.
In addition to thermal evaporation vapor deposition, PMT offers other EMI/RFI shielding techniques and value-add services, including conductive paint, conductive/non-conductive form-in-place gasket, full product finishing, and misc. assembly services. PMT maintains an ISO 9001:2015 certification and quality to customer is paramount. They work closely with their customers to determine the best shielding solution for their specific needs, taking into account factors such as cost, performance, and environmental requirements.
