Re-inventing Paint – A Pioneering, Dry Paint Film for Radio Frequency Identification applications

Project description

New, safer paint for RFID shielding

Paint used for radio frequency identification (RFID) applications requires a substantial makeover. Conductive liquid paints are used mainly for RFID shielding. Despite their competitive price, their use is time-consuming. The application procedure is also complicated. This is why these paints are less than optimal. Also, durability and thickness control are lacking and can cause issues like the signals going through holes or thin parts of the paint. The EU-funded WAVESHIELD project will try to find a solution. It will introduce an innovative alternative paint that is non-toxic, dry and provides 100 % effective RFID shielding. It’s also safer for workers and the environment.
