Conductive Surface Veil Series for Advanced Composite Applications

Our conductive surface veil series leverages the electrically conductive nature of carbon, metal-coated carbon, and metallic fibers to provide a wide range of surface and bulk conductivity levels in composite components. These advanced materials cater to various industrial needs, including surface static dissipation, EMI/RFI shielding, radar signature management, and lightning strike protection.

Product Range and Applications

1. Surface Static Dissipation: Our conductive veils are blended to achieve optimal static dissipation properties, ensuring effective management of surface static electricity. These blends combine carbon with nonconductive fibers to balance conductivity with cost efficiency, making them ideal for applications where surface static control is critical.
2. EMI/RFI Shielding: For applications requiring electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) shielding, we offer blends featuring highly conductive nickel-coated carbon. These materials provide superior attenuation of electromagnetic and radiofrequency interference, making them suitable for electronic enclosures, medical devices, and communication equipment.
3. Radar Signature Management: Our approved materials are specifically tailored to meet stringent customer specifications for radar signature management and low observable applications. The highly conductive nature of these materials ensures effective reduction of radar cross-section, benefiting aerospace and defense sectors where stealth capabilities are paramount.
4. Lightning Strike Protection: For bulk conductivity and heat dissipation, especially in lightning strike protection, we utilize metal and metal-coated carbon fibers. These conductive veils provide excellent protection against lightning strikes by dissipating the energy efficiently across the composite structure. This application is critical for aerospace, wind energy, and other high-risk industries.
5. Heating Elements and De-Icing Applications: Our conductive veils are also employed in the creation of heating elements and de-icing systems. The conductive properties of the materials ensure efficient heat distribution, which is essential for preventing ice accumulation on critical surfaces like aircraft wings and wind turbine blades.

Advanced Material for Electronic Instrument Shells

For manufacturing the shells of electronic instruments, we use a carbon fiber mat with a larger weight to produce premier materials. These materials are then pressed to form thin-walled, lightweight shells that offer high strength and stiffness, effectively resisting creep. This process not only enhances the durability of the electronic apparatus but also maintains the structural integrity under dynamic loads.

Customer Benefits

1. Mechanical Property Retention: Carbon fiber composites used in our conductive veils maintain their mechanical properties under dynamic loads. Unlike traditional materials, they do not deteriorate slowly over time, ensuring long-term performance and reliability in demanding applications.
2. Cost-Effective Solutions: By blending carbon with nonconductive fibers, we achieve a cost-effective balance of conductivity and material expense, providing high-performance solutions without compromising on budget constraints.
3. Customization and Compliance: Our approved materials are customizable to meet specific customer requirements, ensuring compliance with industry standards and tailored solutions for specialized applications.
4. Enhanced Protection and Performance: Whether it’s for EMI/RFI shielding, radar signature management, or lightning strike protection, our conductive veils enhance the overall protection and performance of composite structures, making them indispensable in critical sectors like aerospace, defense, and electronics.

Our conductive surface veil series represents a pinnacle of innovation in composite materials, offering unparalleled conductivity, protection, and mechanical integrity for a wide range of industrial applications.
