Z-Shield^® (AL)

PFR-8235 is a versatile light weight material that has good abrasion resistance and is an extremely flexible, flame retardant polyurethane material that has a soft rubber-like texture. The PFR-8235 is made of 7 mil PFR-18 material backed with adhesive that allows easy lamination of cloth, foil and mesh materials such as our SH1 and Foil Shielding. The PFR-8235 has an operating temperature range of -53 to +80°C. The material is a good choice for many nuclear, aerospace and military applications where PVC materials are not permitted. PFR-8235 can be cut to any desired widths up to 36". The PFR-8235 is used primarily to produce our ZT-Tape, Shielded-ZT-Tape and the Z-Shield family of products.

SH1 Foil is a thin, lightweight shielding material that consists of a 1-mil Aluminum foil backed with a 1-mil Mylar (Polyester) film. It can be combined with most Zippertubing jacket materials and closure types to create a lightweight cable jacket with outstanding EMI shielding performance. The material is a general purpose shielding product that is ideal for use in protected areas like electronics racks and should not be used in areas where a great deal of flexing is likely to occur. It can be configured for Round, Flat and Rectangular cable shapes and is supplied with or without a sewn in 15 AWG braided Tin/Copper ground wire running the full length of the product. When using the SH1 Foil this EMI Shield material will be sewn to the selected jacket material and remain loose along one edge allowing the material to be easily removed from selected areas as desired. The SH1 Foil material is flame retardant but the final product flammability rating will be dependent on the outer jacket material and closure mechanism selected to create the final product.
