Conductive paint is a special type of paint which conducts electricity. The conduction continues even after the paint has dried. Conductive paint is a paint which contains micron-sized particles of silver, copper or nickel. These particles give the paint its conductive property.
Conductive paint is spray painted on to the surface. The thickness of the conductive paint can be between 0.125mm to 0.5 mm thick.
Conductive paint is used in electronic devices to provide shielding from Electromagnetic fields and Radio waves.
As conductive paint is a suspension with metallic particles, it is necessary to shake the paint container before painting. If the particles settle down at the bottom of the container and are not uniformly distributed, the conductive properties of the paint will be less.
