Quality Control and Testing-VTT Cares!
Quality Control and Testing-VTT Cares! When VTT receives a shipment of conductive textiles from a supplier, we sample it and test it before accepting it. Testing includes electrical conductivity and resistance, along with visual evaluation. Other tests may include Weight, Thickness, Hole Count, and Yarn Count. Our RF Shielded Enclosures are tested to assure that their Shielding Effectiveness (SE) lives up to the specifications that we promise. The same rigid Quality Control standards apply...

Berry Amendment and Buy American Act-VTT has you covered!
Berry Amendment and Buy American Act-VTT has you covered! Many of our customers have concerns about these two topics when planning business with the Department of Defense (DoD) in government procurement. VTT will cover your textile needs in both cases by providing textiles that qualify under both laws! The Berry Amendment dates back to 1941. This is a federal mandating the Department of Defense to exclusively procure certain goods, including textiles, that are ENTIRELY manufactured in the United...

Highly Conductive Yarns-Revolutionizing Smart Clothing!
Highly Conductive Yarns-Revolutionizing Smart Clothing! Smart clothing represents the fusion of fashion and functionality. This trend is going forward using the development of highly conductive yarns and threads. Threads and yarns that include conductive metals are redefining how we can interact with our clothing. Metal wires were too subject to stress failures, not to mention that they were not comfortable in clothing. The marriage of technology and comfort of conductive textiles elevate the wearability of smart clothing. Sensors can be...

“Develop” EMC with Pre-Compliance Testing!
"Develop" EMC with Pre-Compliance Testing! If you're developing new electronic product, you know that it must pass Final EMC Compliance Testing enabling it to go to market. Many companies develop the product testing it for EMC compliance after development. This method means that multiple areas may fail the costly Final EMC Compliance test, requiring "backtracking" through developmental steps to determine the reason(s) for failure and re-test the product repeatedly until it passes. This can be a frustrating proposition, requiring multiple...
