Enhancing Workplace Privacy with EMCoat RF Blocking Paint

RF-Blocking Paint: What You Need to Know  – Physical security and cybersecurity are hardly the only threats to businesses. Another major threat to a firm’s reputation and security is that of electronic eavesdropping, or when individuals or parties intercept frequencies emitted by office electronics such as phones, routers, recorders, computers, Bluetooth devices and more.

The good news is that there are several products to help mitigate these RF signals that are emitted by such devices.  One such product is EMCoat RF-blocking shielding paint. In this post, we’ll discuss the importance of RF signal mitigation and how EMCoat paint can help. Read on to learn more.

RF Signal Mitigation: What to Know

As we said in the introduction, there are a lot of office electronics that emit RF signals. And these signals often extend to places that they’re not intended to. In some cases, they may extend well beyond the four walls of an office, potentially reaching someone with ill intentions looking to scoop trade secrets or confidential information. In other cases, they may extend beyond the walls of a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility), where confidential information is shared and discussed away from most other employees.

In either situation, it’s imperative to ensure that your firm’s systems are protected, and any confidential information remains confined to the spaces that it’s supposed to be shared in. If systems are infiltrated and confidential information is accessed – whether by internal or external parties – it could lead to data breaches and leaked information. In the grand scheme of things, this could cause your firm’s reputation to take a hit and result in lost trust among the public.

About EMCoat RF Paint

Window films, foils and treatments represent some popular solutions to mitigating RF signals. One other solution is RF-blocking paint, such as EMCoat, of which Signals Defense is a leading distributor. This multi-purpose paint is electrically conductive and designed to shield electronics and wireless networks while securing communications from hacking and spying. It’s a non-toxic, water-based paint that can cover up to 140 square feet per gallon. It can be applied just like any other type of paint – via roll, spray or brush – and adheres to a range of surfaces.

EMCoat is ideal for interior use and can be easily painted over with any standard paint to match the aesthetic of any room or office environment.

Tips on Incorporating EMF Paint into Office Designs and Layouts

EMCoat RF-blocking paint is ideal for any interior room or office – and there are some applications that this solution tends to lend itself well to. One is the SCIF room. SCIFs are places where confidential information is presented and discussed with only select individuals. For instance, the White House has a SCIF room where national security information is routinely discussed with the President and his cabinet. Using EMCoat to paint the walls of SCIF rooms can represent part of a complete security solution for these spaces.

EMCoat is suitable on a range of interior surfaces, from drywall to wood. Consider using it on any interior surface prior to finishing.
