MG Chemicals 838AR-340G - Total Ground, Carbon Conductive Coating

The 838AR Total GroundTM Carbon Conductive Coating is a one-part durable acrylic lacquer pigmented with a highly conductive carbon powder, packaged in convenient aerosol format. It utilizes a solvent based system with no heat cure necessary. The cured coating is smooth, hard, and abrasion resistant. It provides strong adhesion to plastics, good conductivity, excellent low frequency shielding, and strong corrosion resistance, even in marine environments.

Application and Usages

Total GroundTM is an economical solution for grounding or RFI shielding applications. It may be used in applications such as these:

• Creating a grounded working surface
• Shielding control and pickup cavities on electric guitars and other electronic instruments
• Shielding metal detectors and other devices that malfunction in the presence of metal
• Other low frequency RFI shielding applications
• Acting as a conductive adhesive for electrostatic flocking
