Nickel-Plated Carbon Fiber Mat
30g/m² nickel-plated carbon fiber mat providing superior electromagnetic shielding. Designed for military and defense applications requiring EMI protection.
Key Features
- Electromagnetic shielding
- Nickel-plated surface
- Military grade quality
- EMI/RFI protection
Overview
The nickel-plated carbon fiber mat combines the conductivity of carbon fiber with a nickel coating to deliver high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI) shielding at 30g/m². The metallic surface dramatically increases surface conductivity compared with bare carbon, allowing the mat to reflect and attenuate electromagnetic energy across a broad frequency range.
This grade is engineered for military and defense electronics, where enclosures and composite housings must contain emissions and protect sensitive circuitry from external fields. Integrated as a ply within a laminate, the mat provides shielding without the weight of a metal sheet, while remaining compatible with standard composite manufacturing.
Beyond defense, the nickel-plated mat is used in aerospace and commercial electronics that demand reliable EMI protection. The plating is bonded to the carbon substrate for durability, and the mat retains the corrosion resistance and processability expected from a carbon fiber veil.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does nickel plating improve EMI shielding?
The nickel layer greatly increases surface conductivity over bare carbon fiber, which improves the mat's ability to reflect and absorb electromagnetic energy. This makes it effective for EMI/RFI shielding in enclosures and composite housings.
Is the nickel-plated mat suitable for lightweight shielding?
Yes. At 30g/m² it delivers shielding performance without the weight of a metal sheet, which is why it is favored in aerospace and defense applications where mass is critical.
What industries use nickel-plated carbon fiber mat?
It is primarily used in military and defense electronics, aerospace, and commercial electronics that require reliable electromagnetic shielding.
