841WB Liquid

EMF Shielding Paint

841WB is a 1-part, water-based conductive
paint, pigmented with highly conductive nickel
flake. It is easy to use, with no let-down and
no heat cure necessary. It can be applied by
spray, brush or roller. It adheres strongly to most
injection-molded plastics, such as ABS, PBT and
PVA. It also bonds well to drywall and can be
painted over with common architectural paints.
841WB is designed to reduce EMI/RFI
interferences in architectural, electric musical
and electronics applications.

(downloadable at www.mgchemicals.com).
Recommended Preparation
Plastic—Clean the substrate with Isopropyl Alcohol,
MG #824, so the surface is free of oils, dust, and other
residues.
Drywall—For new drywall, apply directly on top of the
drywall primer, after the primer has properly cured.
When applying on top of existing paint, first wash the
wall with a solution of T.S.P. diluted with water at a
1:10 ratio, to ensure good adhesion.
