Electromagnetic Shielding Paint

Electromagnetic Radiation Shielding Paint

Family homes and office buildings exposed to electromagnetic radiation from mobile phone towers are now able to be shielded using new paint technology.

Building Biologists from the Australasian Society of Building Biologists report that while in Australia a standard of 4,6 million microwatts per m2 is considered safe, the comparative guideline in some EU countries is 10 microwatts per m2. Other countries have guidelines varying between these two extremes. Medical Practitioners have found that health effects occur at levels as low as 11 microwatts per m2.

Cancer clusters experienced in buildings that have a concentration of mobile phone base stations on the roof are becoming more frequent. The causes of these cancer clusters are never determined. However Safe EMR Exposure Limits are so high it makes it impossible to assign the blame on the EMR emitted from these base stations.

Specialised paints with high inert carbon content are now available in Australia which, once applied to walls and/or ceilings of buildings, will substantially cut the amount of exposure to EMR, by up to 90%. Trials recently carried out by GreenPainters in collaboration with the Australasian Building Biologists Association have shown that the shielding materials almost always reduce the EMR exposure levels below 10 microwatts per m2. The paints are easy and quick to apply, and can be coated over to the desired colour and finish, with no perceptible difference to the aesthetics of the building. The paints are low odour, contain 2g/L VOCs, and comply with all Australian standards. Please contact Y-Shield for more information
