Cell Phone Covers

The use of electronic equipment in the industry and private sector is nowadays very widespread. This in turn increases the safety risks to and by equipment, caused by electromagnetic and electro-static fields. The amount of interferences produced by equipment and its immunity to interferences is strictly regulated. In general any equipment in a plastic housing (e. g. cell phone) can only meet this immunity level if its housing is metallically conductive (Faraday cage). For this kind of shielding application Atotech's Covertron® electroless copper and nickel process is perfectly suited offering excellent corrosion protection.
