Reducing Laundry Static and saving on Utilities-SilverWorks!
Reducing Laundry Static and saving on Utilities-SilverWorks! V Technical Textiles, Inc. is excited to announce that one of our customers, Applied Silver, Inc. of Hayward California, has released a product that speeds up the drying cycle using Dryer Balls that are infused with 180 ft of silver-containing thread. The thread continuously releases silver ions throughout the drying cycle, eliminating static while simultaneously decreasing clothing wrinkles and tangling. The Dryer Balls prevent laundry from clumping together, allowing warm air to better...

Metalized Textiles create Infrared Stealth!
Metalized Textiles create Infrared Stealth! In the intricate world of modern defense, where the cloak of invisibility extends beyond radar, metalized textiles are emerging as silent sentinels, especially in infrared (IR) stealth. These textile's role in concealing heat signatures is pivotal and contributes to the overall efficacy of military platforms. Metalized textiles serve as thermal wizards, providing efficient insulation to thwart the escape of heat from an object's surface. Simultaneously, their reflective properties redirect radiant heat away, diminishing the thermal...

Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity-be Fair!
Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity-be Fair! In a world dominated by technology, concerns about the potential health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) have given rise to a controversial condition known as Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) or Electromagnetic Sensitivity (ES). Individuals with EHS claim to experience a range of non-specific symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, rashes, muscular pain, dizziness, stress, sleep disturbances, and tingly feelings on the skin. The individuals attribute these symptoms to exposure to everyday sources of EMFs like power lines and electrical...

Connecting with the Earth for Health Benefits-Grounding!
Connecting with the Earth for Health Benefits-Grounding! In our fast-paced technology-driven lives, the ancient practice of grounding or earthing, is gaining attention for its potential health benefits. Grounding involves direct physical contact with the Earth's surface, allowing electrons to flow from the earth to the body. This electron transfer is believed to balance the body's electrical charge and may contribute to a range of health improvements. Studies suggest that grounding may help reduce inflammation, improve sleep quality, and enhance overall...
