842AR is a conductive paint that consists of a 1-part, solvent-based acrylic lacquer, pigmented with an extremely conductive silver flake. It is smooth, hard, and abrasion resistant. It can be easily applied by rush or spray. It has a quick dry time, with no heat cure necessary. It adheres strongly to most injection-molded plastics, such as ABS, PBT and PVA. It provides superior high frequency shielding. It also provides strong corrosion resistance, and is suitable for use in marine environments.

842AR is designed to provide a conductive coating for the interior of plastic electronic enclosures that suppresses EMI/RFI emissions. It excels when the highest level of shielding is required. Also, its thin minimum layer height makes it suitable for board level applications.
