Metalized Textiles in Smart Military Uniforms!

Metalized Textiles in Smart Military Uniforms!

Metalized Textiles in Smart Military Uniforms!  Metalized textiles, also known as conductive textiles have emerged as a key component in the development of advanced "smart uniforms."  These innovative fabrics, created by depositing a thin layer of metal onto a textile substrate, offer a multitude of applications that enhance soldier performance and safety. Metalized Textiles in Smart Military Uniforms!  These amazing textiles provide crucial electromagnetic shielding, protecting soldiers from potentially harmful radiation.  Also, incorporating these fabrics into uniforms and equipment reduces electromagnetic...

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 to all the products we manufacture...
Conductive Velcro-Static Management and Switches!

Conductive Velcro-Static Management and Switches!

Conductive Velcro-Static Management and Switches!   When it comes to how we manage static electricity and create reliable switches, conductive Velcro is a true gem!  Conductive Velcro is a specialized form of traditional hook and loop and has conductive properties that make it a game-changer in several industries.  We'll lead off with its two remarkable applications:  static management and switches. Static Management Static electricity may seem harmless, but in sensitive environments like electronic manufacturing and cleanrooms, it can wreak havoc.  Enter conductive Velcro,...
RF Shielded Curtains-many Options!

Require Isolation- RF Curtains work!

Require Isolation-RF Curtains work!  When RF Isolation is necessary during an electronic system diagnosis and repair there often isn't a large enough RF Shielded Enclosure present.  Isolation may be possible by using an array of several RF Shielded Curtains.  This approach facilitates diagnosis and repair in situ, where it originally arose.  There are many situations that require RF isolation.   Warehouses and storage facilities where inventory management involves constant monitoring with RFID.  In order to avoid " RFID crosstalk" between the...
RFI/EMI Shielding-Solid Metal or Metalized Textiles?

VTT New Look-the same Quality!

VTT New Look-the same Quality!  In the next few months, you will see a change in our Logo and our branding.  We feel that it's time to modernize our look and brand identity as we move into the future.  More importantly, we want to reposition ourselves in keeping with the new challenges that are always emerging in the business world.  It is important that our brand stands out clearly and continues to be a hallmark of excellence.  With major changes...
RF Shielding Curtains-many uses!

RF Shielding Curtains-many uses!

RF Shielding Curtains-many uses!  RF Shielding Curtains made with Conductive Metalized Textiles, block the passage or RFI/EMI.  This characteristic makes them useful in many ways!  One of the major uses of RF Shielding Curtains is in warehouses, where they make keeping accurate inventory records easy.  Areas of the warehouse can be "sectioned off" from other areas, eliminating "RF Crosstalk" between adjacent areas during scanning.    In a similar fashion, curtained separation of hospital telemetry areas enables wireless collection of vital...
Conductive Textiles are used Everywhere!

Conductive Textiles are used Everywhere!

Conductive Textiles are used Everywhere!  The medical field has many uses for conductive textiles.  Conductive metalized textiles act as sensors, measuring vital functions such as brain waves, and temperature.  Hospital beds become smart, sensing a patient leaving the bed.   Pressure sensing buttons summon nurses to the patient's room when necessary.  These even detect wetness of the bedding!  Metalized textiles are useful in physical therapy as electrodes applying current to stimulate muscles or nerves as part of the patient's healing and...
Relax in Protective Comfort-Silverell!

Relax in Protective Comfort-Silverell!

Relax in Protective Comfort-Silverell!  Winter is a cold season, and it's nice to relax in comfortable Silverell® Wellness Garments.  Garments made of Silverell® are comfortable due to the thermal conductivity of Silver, the most conductive element!  What makes these garments comfortable is the conductivity of the silver in the yarn taking your natural body heat and balancing it evenly thought the garment, eliminating "hot spots" and "cold spots", creating one comfortable temperature.  The resulting comfort from the warmth and the...

VTT Hook and Loop now Buy American Act and Berry Amendment Compliant!

VTT Hook and Loop now Buy American Act and Berry Amendment Compliant!  VTT is now able to offer Hook and Loop/Velcro® that meets the requirements of the Buy American Act and the Berry Amendment!  These laws apply to purchases by Federal Government purchases for public use in the United States and for Department of Defense spending respectively. The Berry Amendment is very specific and requires that the product must have of 100% domestic content with NO EXCEPTIONS.  On the other...
Clothing plays a Role in Wellness!

Wellness Garments-Comfort and Protection!

Wellness Garments-Comfort and Protection!  Wellness Garments are enriched with pure silver containing yarn and thread, making the wearer feel comfortable, relaxed, and well.  Silver is the most conductive element, both electrically and thermally.  The thermal conductivity of the metalized textiles utilizes the body's natural heat and spreads that heat evenly throughout the garment.  This property eliminates hot spots and cold spots, making wearer feel very comfortable.  The conductivity of Silver increases the blood flow through the body, increasing energy, at...
