New shielding materials for the construction industry

Industry: Chemistry & Materials
Service: From Lab to Business

Need

In the construction industry, shielding against electromagnetic fields is usually provided using metal cages, but this is  a slow, expensive  process and adds considerable weight to the construction. What's more, exponentially growing wireless and communication systems are leading to overexposure to electromagnetic radiation.

Solution

The proposed solution involves direct use of composite building materials with shielding properties in thin, "layerable" formats, such as cement mortar and plasterboard, which can effectively replace the metal cages currently used, without lowering the level of electromagnetic shielding, or be added to existing panels.

Benefits

  • Greater ease of use than conventional method
  • Higher performance than conventional method
  • Less weight added to the construction and less material used
  • Lower cost

Possible applications

  • Building firms
  • Manufacturers of mortars, plasterboard, and other building materials
  • Business customers interested in shielding their production facilities
