YSHIELD DRY54 Special Shielding Paint (powder)
Same YSHIELD shielding technology as HSF54, in preservative-free powder form you mix yourself -- roughly half the cost per litre.

The powder version of YSHIELD's shielding paint: no preservatives, longer shelf life, and about half the cost of the ready-mixed HSF54, in exchange for mixing it with water yourself before application (a digital scale, mixing bucket, drill-bit paint stirrer, mask and safety glasses are needed). Like HSF54, it's TUV-SUD monitored and shields both high-frequency radio signals and, once grounded, low-frequency electric fields.
What to check
Attenuation figures (up to 84dB at 40GHz; see spec rows) are manufacturer-published and TUV-SUD monitored to the same ASTM/IEEE standards as HSF54, but run somewhat lower than HSF54 at the same yield -- check the attenuation rows if you need a specific dB target. Must be earthed to shield low-frequency fields; the manufacturer recommends a qualified electrician handle the grounding connection.
Confirm the exact model revision and the measurement conditions that matter to your use. Detection coverage is not a guarantee of uniform accuracy.
