TM 3M Fabric Tape CN-3190 Nickel on Copper-Plated Polyester Fabric Data Sheet September 2008 Description 3MTM Fabric Tape CN-3190 consists of anti-corrosion polyester rip-stop fabric and unique electrically conductive pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive. Applications 3M CN-3190 is used in applications typically served by metal foil shielding tapes such as grounding and EMI shielding equipment, components, shielded rooms, etc. The unique metal-plated fabric backing offers the additional benefits of excellent flexibility and conformability, very light weight, and exceptional strength. The fabric backing also minimizes the possibility of finger lacerations. Shielding Effectiveness Many factors determine the true shielding effectiveness of a shielding tape, including type and thickness of foil adhesive type, intimacy of contact, smoothness of application surface, strength and frequency of the EMI signal, etc. However, using standard tests and fixtures it is possible to determine a value for the attenuations. For CN-3190 fabric tape, typical shielding effectiveness is in the range of 65dB to 70dB. Before using this product, the user must evaluate it and determine if it is suitable for the intended application.
