Why EMF shielding matters

Low‑frequency electromagnetic fields generated by transformers, high‑voltage lines, busbars, and high‑power cables are a growing technical and regulatory challenge. Increased power density and proximity to sensitive electronics drive failures, performance degradation, and exposure risks. FlexShield ensures reliability, compliance, and safety.

Key risks we eliminate

Electromigration, hot‑electron effects, antenna radiation, and long‑term exposure risks impacting people and equipment.

Up to 15% of electronic equipment failures are linked to EMF interference in critical environments.

HF
Human exposure

Long‑term EMF exposure can impact health; compliance limits protect staff and occupants.

EQ
Equipment integrity

EMF interference increases failure rates and degrades sensitive electronics performance.

OP
Operational continuity

Shielding safeguards uptime in mission‑critical facilities.

Solutions

Shield the source, or protect the sensitive zone

We design solutions for transformer rooms, cable trays, busbars, and sensitive areas such as data halls, labs, and cleanrooms. Each design is tuned to exposure targets and operational constraints.
