UltraFlex™ Copper Beryllium (CuBe) Mesh
UltraFlex™ combines the optimum mechanical properties of copper beryllium with shielding effectiveness as much as 20 dB higher than conventional materials. It offers superb resiliency for consistent, point-to-point contact requiring the lowest compression forces among all other shielding materials and configurations. A wide range of platings, sizes, configurations and excellent flexibility create optimum design latitude.
