Aaronia A2000+ RF Screening Tissue Series

Aaronia offers an inexpensive and easy to handle shield-ing, even for the layman: The Aaronia shielding fabric A2000+. Aaronia’s shielding fabric A2000+ simultane-ously offers protection against high-frequency (HF) and low-frequency (LF) E-field radiation.

The Aaronia shielding fabric A2000+ can be used to shield local radiation sources such as cables or power distribution boxes as well as rooms or entire houses and buildings. It is laid in adjacent strips, which should overlap by approx. 15 cm to create a closed surface. For high-frequency shielding, the material does not need to be grounded! However, for safety reasons, we generally recommend grounding with our “grounding package”, since the fabric is conductive due to the metals it con-tains. In addition, low-frequency electrical fields, such as those from power lines or high-voltage lines, are also reduced at the same time.

Damping graph 1 - 10 GHz

Measurements prove the good screening performance: Damping of high-frequency radiation in the frequency range particularly affected by pulsed signals, for example by cell towers, is 90% to 99%. Also, static and low-frequency electric fields like those generated by any cables or appliances in homes, or high-voltage power lines, are being damped by up to 99,9%

Applications

Shielding a house or other building

It is recommended to shield the exterior of houses and buildings in new construction. In this case, the fabric is installed in the plastering of the walls as a replacement for the reinforcement fabric. In the roof area, the fabric can be installed directly below the vapour barrier foil. In the floor area, the fabric is laid in the screed of the floor slab.

It should always be noted that for the best possible RF shielding, a closed surface, i.e. a Faraday cage, must be formed! When laying the panels in the walls, floor slab and roof area, always leave the corresponding over-hangs of the fabric in order to be able to connect the panels without gaps later.

Protecting a room

To shield a room against high-frequency radiation, it must be completely lined with the fabric. If, on the oth-er hand, a low-frequency E-field radiation source (e.g. the power distribution box or cables in the wall) is to be shielded, only a small area around the radiating source must be covered with the fabric.

Attention: With low-frequency shielding, the fabric must also be grounded! We recommend our Aaronia “grounding package” for this purpose. In the floor area, the fabric can be laid in the floor screed. When install-ing indoors, the fabric should be processed in the wall (see diagram). Due to its structure and the coating, the material is not suitable for painting or wallpapering over it!

When screening the interior, if the walls are made of plaster, wood or similar, the fabric can be applied with a “stapler”. It can also be laid on the ceiling. Doors, on the other hand, should be covered with the shielding fleece Aaronia X-Dream®, as should the door frame. When the door is closed, this creates an almost seamless con-nection with the rest of the room’s fabric. In the window area, for example, our shielding fabric Aaronia-Shield®or Aaronia Shield® Ultra can be used. Installation in-structions are included in the delivery.
