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! 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,...

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...

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! 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! 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...
