YShield PRO54 anti-wave protection paint - High and low frequencies - 1 | 5 litre can

YShield PRO54 high- and low-frequency protective paint protects against high-frequency radiation (from DECT cordless home telephones, WiFi and Wimax wireless networks and mobile phone aerials), of 5GIt also reduces low-frequency electric fields (mainly from household electricity) and electrostatic fields.

Can be used both indoors and outdoors. 

Professional shoring paint without graphiteIt has a high level of hardness and adhesion. Little staining.

Slightly sweet smell, use only in rooms that are not occupied for 7 days. 

• Breathable, solvent- and plasticiser-free - low VOC emissions 
• Excellent adhesion to all indoor and outdoor surfaces (very high resistance to humidity)
• Exceptional physical and chemical properties combined with a high level of ecology
• Can be applied like "classic" paint, repainted and wallpapered

The absence of graphite offers a number of advantages: 

• Leaves no white marks when sweeping
• It also leaves no black marks on light surfaces, making it easier to repaint than other YShield paints.
• Its rough microporous surface provides a non-slip surface for excellent adhesion of the finishing paint.
• Its adhesive bond strength (4.8 N/mm² - adhesion to substrate) is as high as in paints containing graphite. 

The only drawback is that it is about 10 % less effective than other paints. We therefore recommend that you apply a minimum of 2 coats of paint to achieve 35 to 40 dB of attenuation.

No nanotechnology: Armour paints are developed according to strict ecological criteria. They use the lowest-emission carbon black on the market and untreated natural graphite. YShield deliberately refrains from using graphene, a nanomaterial whose hazard potential is still completely uncertain.

Ready for 5G

Thanks to constant development, YShield paints have almost linear attenuation over a very wide range of frequencies. This includes the two 5G frequency spectrums FR1 (600 MHz - 6 GHz) and FR2 (24 GHz - 40 GHz).

Earthing

As this paint is conductive, earthing is necessary.

We recommend using the following earthing accessories:

• GSX YShield earthing tape (formerly EBX) Before painting, place a strip of tape horizontally and a strip vertically on the surface to be painted. The earthing plate will be placed at the intersection of the two strips of tape.

Optional: AF3 additive. If the surface to be painted is not flat, we recommend replacing the adhesive tape with AF3 additive with long conductive carbon fibres (to fill cracks for better earthing). 

• Grounding plate GS1 or GS2 or GS3 YShielddepending on the size of the painted surface 
• GL YShield earthing cable Available in 5 different lengths (20 cm, 1 m, 2 m, 5 m and 10 m) - choose the length according to the distance between your earthing plate and the socket to which you are going to connect the earthing plug.
• GP1 YShield earthing plug indoors, plug into your earthed wall socket.

You'll find all our advice in the practical sheet you can download at the bottom of the page.

We accept no liability for damage to persons, animals or objects caused by incorrect application of the paint, in particular earthing and electrical installation that does not comply with DIN 57100 / VDE 0100 standards. We recommend that the electrical installation and earthing of YShield® paints be checked by a specialist electrician.
