Need to protect SS with non-conductive paint

Renat0 · Mar 9, 2005

Does anyone know where I can find a non-conductive paint to use on a stainless-steel sheet metal (1,5mm thickness)?
We're producing prototypes of a shield and the customer asked to cover this SS with a coating of non-conductive paint to prevent flow of current.
Sorry for my bad English
Ciao, Grazie

Any special environmental restrictions? (chemicals, water, temperature)
How much dielectric strength do you need?

There are some very good epoxies out there. That is where I would start.

Corrosion never sleeps, but it can be managed.

You need to talk to your customer on how much non-conductivity he needs. What amount of voltage is he shielding. Aerial devices used by power companies per ANSI require 70,000 volt protection which is unattainable using paint.
