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...

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...

Technical Embroidery-Conductive Yarn “Wires”!
Technical Embroidery-Conductive Yarn "Wires"! Smart clothing requires durable conductive wires! I'm asking you to "think outside the box" when it comes to the term "wire". In the case of clothing a classic "metal wire" leaves quite a bit to be desired. It is rigid and doesn't like the movements of the human body. Flexing a metal wire leads to stress cracks, and ultimately failure of the wire. Additionally, metal wires in clothing are not exactly "comfortable" for the wearer, we...
