Conductive and shielding coatings, cosmetic-critical housings, silk-screened panels, racks and chassis — finished in a shop that understands that a coated enclosure still has to ground.
Request a Quote(972) 475-2726Electronics enclosures ask a coating to do two contradictory things at once: insulate and protect the outside, while leaving a clean electrical path where the design needs one. Getting that right is mostly masking discipline.
Conductive coatings that give a plastic or coated enclosure the electromagnetic behavior of a metal one. Applied with the grounding and bonding paths masked so the shield actually terminates.
Cosmetic-critical housings, bezels and covers where the finish is part of the product. Color matched to a target and held across production runs.
Control legends, nomenclature, part numbers and instruction text screened directly onto the finished panel, then protected where the spec calls for it.
Connector faces, grounding pads, card guides, threaded inserts and sealing surfaces stay bare — written on the traveler, checked at inspection.
Most coating problems on enclosures are not coating problems. They are communication problems — a grounding pad nobody masked, a color that drifted between runs, a legend that lifted. Those are the things we are careful about.
A shielded enclosure with a coated ground path is an unshielded enclosure. Bonding surfaces are masked and verified, not assumed.
Formulation is recorded so the second production lot matches the first, and the spare part matches the unit it goes into.
Coating and marking happen in the same building. Registration and color match are controlled rather than coordinated between two vendors.
Chem film for conductivity under paint, tin or silver plate for contacts — run at Gleco Plating in the same company, on the same order.
Yes. Plastics take powder and paint with the right pretreatment and cure schedule, and conductive shielding coatings are commonly applied to plastic housings specifically to give them EMI performance. Tell us the resin so we can set the cure temperature safely.
They are masked. Mark the grounding and bonding locations on the print and we will plug, tape or boot them, record it on the traveler, and check them at inspection before the part ships.
Send a chip, a painted part, a RAL or a FED-STD-595 number. We match to it and keep the formulation on file so repeat orders and spares stay consistent.
Yes, in the same building as the coating. Legends, nomenclature and identification are screened onto the finished surface and protected where the specification requires it.
Tell us which surfaces are cosmetic before the first article. How a part is racked decides where the film thins and where the rack mark lands, and that is a fixturing decision we would rather make with you than around you.
Yes — conductive coating inside, decorative or protective finish outside, with the interfaces masked. It is a common build and it is easier when one shop owns both steps.
Substrate, finish, color target and what has to stay bare. Quotes typically back within one business day.
