Technical Embroidery-Flexible Conductive “Wires”!

Technical Embroidery-Flexible Conductive "Wires"!  I think of embroidery as "decoration" of garments.  Logos, names on uniforms, hats, come to mind when I think about embroidery.  The final result is intricate, colorful and adds to the appearance of the embroidered item. Technical embroidery is useful as a way to conduct electricity and data in smart textiles.  Using threads and yarns that are plated with Silver, the most conductive element, embroidery is about function now!  Hospital garments have embroidered electrodes and sensors...
Conductivity, Flexibility, Durability-TPU Yarn!"!

TPU Wire-a Conductive Yarn “Wire”!

TPU Wire-a Conductive Yarn "Wire"!  TPU "Wire" is a silver metalized yarn with Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) coat that acts as an insulator.  Silver is the most conductive element, making it logical to use where conductivity is important.  TPU is important for insulation purposes in low voltage wire systems.  The flexibility of both the yarn and TPU creates a benefit not found in metal wires.  Metal wires are not the best conductors to use when the wire is subject to frequent...

Personal/Home Shielding reduces EMI Exposure!

Personal/Home Shielding reduces EMI Exposure!

Personal/Home Shielding reduces EMI Exposure!  In today's wireless world, we endure constant exposure to RF waves.  Though there is no absolute proof of health risks due to RF wave exposure, there is certainly concern regarding exposure.  EHS (Electromagnetic HyperSensitivity), the name given to EMI sensitivity, involves nervous system symptoms.   Symptoms include headaches, fatigue, stress, sleep disturbances, and skin irritation among many others.   Many sufferers of EHS claim that their symptoms decline when they shield themselves from RF/EMI exposure.  Personal Shielding...
