Flexible, Proven Solutions for Complex Applications
From material selection to application method, everything we do is custom-tailored to your design—because no two projects are the same.
High-impact plastics are rapidly replacing metal casings for electronic equipment, especially in medical, military, and aerospace applications where weight minimization is one of the primary design objectives. Also, the “lightening” of industrial products is nowadays a priority throughout manufacturing. Plastics are the material of choice because they’re less expensive than metal, can be easily molded or cast into attractive shapes, and allow for more “form & function” design flexibility for engineers.
But for all their relative virtues over metal, plastics are nonetheless completely pervious to EMI, RFI, and ESD interference, all of which can cause catastrophic electronic failure. This has been a major design challenge for plastic in electronic applications, at least until now.
Supporting Industries Where Precision Matters
Our aluminum coating and gasketing services are trusted by OEMs in the following markets:
Medical Devices
Imaging systems, infusion pumps, and portable monitors
Military & Defense
Ruggedized enclosures and secure communications
Aerospace
Lightweight shielding with strict compliance standards
Industrial Electronics
Sensors, controllers, and test equipment
We collaborate with engineers, injection molders, and metal fabricators at any project stage to help meet performance, regulatory, and production goals.
VAETEC® Thin Film Deposition is a precise process that ensures the repeatability of coating on intricate plastic surfaces. The VAETEC® process involves placing components in a vacuum deposition chamber in which vaporized aluminum adheres to the plastic as a thin layer. This thin layer of aluminum provides EMI, RFI and ESD absorption.
This process is better than the old way of using conductive spray painting. Conductive spray painting was once the norm, but it is a less controllable process and can result in flaking or cracking of the shield, as well as non-uniform esthetics.
Built for Performance, Engineered for Repeatability
Whether you’re working with complex geometries, vertical surfaces, or tight tolerances, we deliver solutions designed for repeatability and high performance. Our proprietary VAETEC® aluminum coating and robotically-dispensed Form-In-Place (FIP) gaskets are optimized for:
Shielding Effectiveness
Protection against EMI, RFI, and ESD
Environmental Sealing
Dust, water, and contaminant exclusion
Material Compatibility
PC/ABS, ABS, PC, PEEK, Polypropylene, and more
Selective Masking
Internal, external, and hybrid configurations
Compliance Without Compromise
We meet or exceed key industry standards to support your project goals:
ISO 9001 Certified
ITAR Compliant
UL Recognized Coatings
(select resins)
ROHS & REACH Compliant Processes
You don’t need to compromise between shielding, sealing, and compliance—we deliver all three, with minimal added weight and maximum precision.
Start with Confidence—Finish with Certainty
Whether you’re still in development or ready to scale production, we’re here to help. We offer everything from sample plaques to concept tooling to full-scale production support.
