“Hardening Structures”-Protecting our Country’s Vital Electronics-Based Systems!
ElectroMagnetic Pulses (EMPs), transient electromagnetic disturbances, evoke the Orwellian thoughts of nuclear explosions that are capable of short-circuiting a wide range of electronic equipment, including computers, satellites, radios, radar receivers, and even traffic lights, plunging the world into the "electronic dark ages". Though a nuclear weapon is the most commonly thought of cause of an EMP, they can also be caused by solar flares, a close lightning strike, or a massive powerline short circuit. The damage to electrical equipment can...

The Constant Increase of Electronic Devices makes the Shielding Industry Very Important in Achieving EMC!
We have more electronic devices than ever before in this world, each of them adding to the invisible cloud of E-Smog that surrounds us all. More of these devices are being developed all of the time, with the development in cellular infrastructure for the 5G and 6G communications systems....yes, I said 6G!!! That doesn't include the aerospace and automotive industries as today's aircrafts and automobiles are essentially controlled and driven with the aid of complex electronic devices and the consumer...

A New use for Conductive Yarns, Embroidered Sensors and Electrodes!
If you think about it, a sensor is a conductive material that is attached to the skin and used to transmit readings of biometric information such as heart rate, brain activity, and other bodily functions through a wire to a recording device, giving your health professional a good idea of how your body is working. An electrode is like a sensor as it is made of conductive material and attached to the skin, but instead of transmitting information away, it...

Silverized Fabrics, Comfortable to Wear and Beneficial to Your Health as Well!!
V Technical Textiles, Inc. provides a line of clothing made with Silverized knits and fabrics. These conductive metalized textiles make the clothing more comfortable, as the silver is a great conductor of heat. This conductivity spreads the natural body heat that it absorbs throughout the surface of the garment, creating an even and balanced body temperature, lessening the presence of "hot spots and cold spots", and making the wearer feel more comfortable. This "balancing" of the body temperature increases circulation,...

Sensors and Electrodes- A Perfect use for Metalized Textiles!
Most of us are familiar with the sensors that our health professionals use to gather many types of biometric information about the function of our electrical body organs including: the brain, heart, nerves, temperature, blood oxygen saturation, humidity, and muscles. Electrodes are also carriers of electric current for stimulation therapy for nerves TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and muscles EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation). Traditionally, these sensors have been "wet Silver Chloride Sensors". The "wet part" is a gel to provide reduction...

I’m not “Just Spinning you a Yarn”, Shieldex®Yarns and Threads are the Best!
Shieldex Yarns are the most versatile yarns not only due to the anti-static, anti-odor properties, but for their high electrical and thermal conductivity as well. These silver plated polyamide yarns can be used in the same fashion as non-coated yarns for twisting, warp-knitting, weft-knitting, embroidery, weaving and spinning. Due to the conductivity of silver, these yarns can be used as a conductor in sensors, for the manufacture of clothing, home textiles, as well as "smart textiles". The yarns are available...

What can Metalized Textiles do for You? Your Imagination is the only Limit!
Since the founding of V Technical Textiles, Inc., it has been the world's single largest distributor of electrically conductive fabrics and notions. Many people have no idea what metalized textiles are used for. When they first came out, metalized textiles were used largely in electrical manufacturing in the aerospace, automotive, electronics industries as ESD carpeting, EMI shielded gaskets and quickly evolved into shielding materials in electronic devices to stop RF Interference from affecting the proper function of these sensitive electronic...

RF Protective Suit, Protection for 5G Workers, Microwave Workers and Maintenance Personnel!
Most of us know that we are surrounded by RF radiation all of the time. This radiation is of the non-ionizing variety, meaning that it lacks the energy to damage the DNA of a cell and cause mutations. RF is routinely absorbed by the body and the effects of this absorption are called "thermal effects", basically much as a microwave oven can heat water, RF radiation can rapidly warm the body. The eyes and the testes are most vulnerable to...
