EMI Shielding Solutions for Aerospace, Defense, and Medical Applications
VTI Vacuum Technologies, Inc. is one of North America’s foremost providers of EMI shielding solutions, RFI/ESD shielding solutions, and form-in-place gasketing for OEM electronics and related components. We proudly offer two distinct solutions to the world’s most renowned medical, defense, and aerospace manufacturers as well as the many other industries whose technology depends on sophisticated electronics:
VAETEC® THIN-FILM COATING
We use vacuum metallization to coat non-metallic casings with an accurate and uniform thin-film of aluminum. This solution meets and often exceeds the level of EMI, RFI, or ESD shielding required by your design while simultaneously preserving the esthetic qualities of your parts and/or equipment.
FORM-IN-PLACE GASKETING
Our form-in-place gasketing solution (also known as FIP) leverages the precise and repeatable robotic application of silicone elastomers to ensure conductive or non-conductive sealing for your OEM components. We offer both moisture- and thermally-cured formulations to best meet your design requirements.
FAQs About EMI Shielding Solutions
What is the best protection against EMI?
The best protection against EMI (electromagnetic interference) is a combination of conductive materials and proper shielding design. Customized EMI shielding gaskets, coatings, and enclosures built with conductive elastomers provide excellent protection by blocking unwanted electromagnetic waves.
How do you shield against EMI?
Shielding against EMI typically involves surrounding sensitive electronics with conductive materials that absorb or deflect electromagnetic energy. Common methods include installing conductive gaskets, applying conductive coatings, or designing enclosures with built-in EMI barriers.
What are the solutions to EMI?
Solutions to EMI include using conductive gaskets, specialized enclosures, form-in-place gasketing, conductive coatings, and grounding techniques. Choosing the right solution depends on the device’s application, environment, and regulatory requirements.
What is the best material to block EMI?
Some of the best materials to block EMI include silver-filled elastomers, conductive silicone, nickel-coated fabrics, and specialized metallic coatings. The right material choice depends on the frequency range and performance needs of the application.
What material blocks EMF?
Materials such as copper, silver, and specialized conductive fabrics are highly effective at blocking EMF (electromagnetic fields). In manufacturing, conductive gaskets and coatings are often used to shield sensitive electronics from EMF interference.
