Electromagnetic wave shielding performance

"EMSpanel" is the shielding material used in "EMSbox"is also used in pacemaker protective clothing, and its major features are that it is only 0.7 mm thick (5-layer type) and lightweight, despite its extremely high magnetic field shielding performance. Conventionally, to achieve this level of magnetic field shielding performance, the thickness and mass of the magnetic material was required, making it unsuitable for equipment or wear. Also, when constructing a room with shielding, there were cases where construction was not possible due to construction weight restrictions.

Its original purpose was to protect pacemaker wearers from magnetic fields, but because it is easy to process, it has come to be widely used in university and corporate laboratories.※EMSpanel is also sold separately.

Electromagnetic Shielding Materials

For low frequency magnetic field protectionEMSpanel

Reflecting and diverting low-frequency magnetic fields

It is recommended as a low-frequency magnetic field shield that blocks static magnetic fields and high-frequency electromagnetic waves of several tens of GHz. Use it as an interior panel when you need electromagnetic shielding over a wide range.

▲ Enlarged cross-sectional view (magnification: 8x)

There are two types available: a five-layer type (0.7mm thick) consisting of three layers of aluminum film and two layers of high-permeability magnetic material sheets, and a three-layer type (0.3mm thick) consisting of two layers of aluminum and one layer of magnetic material sheet.
