Z-Foil^®

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.

A thin high temperature Acrylic transfer adhesive used to create permanent jacket closures on flexible low surface energy plastic materials. This specially formulated transfer adhesive and is intended for use on flexible Polyurethane films and other LSE materials even when exposed to high temperatures. When properly sealed together this adhesive creates a strong permanent bond that cannot be reopened (after several weeks) without structurally damaging the base material. Attempting to remove and reset this adhesive after initial placement will destroy the strength of the material.
