838AR – TOTAL GROUND™ CARBON CONDUCTIVE COATING

The 838AR Total Ground Carbon Conductive Coating is an economical conductive paint that is used to create grounded, conductive, static free surfaces, or to provide cost effective shielding from electromagnetic or radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) at frequencies below 1MHz. The cured coating is a durable acrylic lacquer pigmented with a highly conductive carbon powder. The easy-to-use aerosol uses a solvent-based system that can be air-cured at room temperature. It offers excellent conductivity, strong adhesion to plastics, and a wide variety of applications.

The acrylic resin coat is smooth, hard, durable, scratch resistant, and abrasion resistant; so that painted surfaces may be used as static free work benches.
