This seems like a good candidate for the classic SE measurement method of using a shield room pass-thru panel as the sample, with antennas on both sides.  At least it wouldn't require much material to try.

Ken-
agree with you on all points.

Charles-
is there any way to get a paint sample and run a test?  I can imagine a stepped approach of ...apply one coat, let it dry, measure SE, apply another coat, repeat...

seam treatment is a head-scratcher.   there are tried and true methods for existing shield technology, but this would be something new.  need a creative method to experiment and iterate into a solution.  Hmm

    Obvious observations.

    Shielding effectiveness depends on the paint conductivity after
    applied and dried.  The solid content by volume needs to be that
    which achieves the desired cured/dried conductivity.

    Next, the surface conductivity will facilitate some degree of
    shielding effectiveness.  But you didn’t state the goal.  If one
    coat doesn’t deliver the required conductivity, then maybe
    multiple coats might, but whether that is practical totally
    depends on the ratio of single coat SE to desired SE.

    And finally, chamber SE is high-side bounded by the SE calculable
    from the paint conductivity. All seams, apertures, and
    penetrations must be handled in a manner to protect the SE
    inherent in the paint conductivity.

    *Subject: *[PSES] Pure silicate paint as shielding for work areas

    Hello all,

    We are considering the use of  pure silicate paint to shield a
    room,  Does anyone have experience with using a paint like this in
    this sort of application?. Obviously all the normal
    rules apply for ensuring a contiguous bond - I have only a limited
    idea on the difficulties that
    requirement will entail!  FYI, the "spec" does not specify % by
    volume of the solid content. I am guessing that 50-70% by volume
    should be sufficient - does that make sense?

    Thank you in advance!
