Infrared Detection, the Good and the Bad, and How to Avoid it!
What is Infrared Detection?
Infrared Detection is using heat as a method of finding someone or something. The the infrared sensor/camera picks up the infrared heat signature of a person or object, which is be stronger or weaker than their surroundings. This makes the human being or object "distinct" from its surroundings, essentially locating the human being or object.What is Good about IR Detection?
One good thing about infrared detection is the use of this technology in finding people lost in the...

Silverized Fabrics, Comfortable to Wear and Beneficial to Your Health as Well!!
V Technical Textiles, Inc. provides a line of clothing made with Silverized knits and fabrics. These conductive metalized textiles make the clothing more comfortable, as the silver is a great conductor of heat. This conductivity spreads the natural body heat that it absorbs throughout the surface of the garment, creating an even and balanced body temperature, lessening the presence of "hot spots and cold spots", and making the wearer feel more comfortable. This "balancing" of the body temperature increases circulation,...

I’m not “Just Spinning you a Yarn”, Shieldex®Yarns and Threads are the Best!
Shieldex Yarns are the most versatile yarns not only due to the anti-static, anti-odor properties, but for their high electrical and thermal conductivity as well. These silver plated polyamide yarns can be used in the same fashion as non-coated yarns for twisting, warp-knitting, weft-knitting, embroidery, weaving and spinning. Due to the conductivity of silver, these yarns can be used as a conductor in sensors, for the manufacture of clothing, home textiles, as well as "smart textiles". The yarns are available...

What can Metalized Textiles do for You? Your Imagination is the only Limit!
Since the founding of V Technical Textiles, Inc., it has been the world's single largest distributor of electrically conductive fabrics and notions. Many people have no idea what metalized textiles are used for. When they first came out, metalized textiles were used largely in electrical manufacturing in the aerospace, automotive, electronics industries as ESD carpeting, EMI shielded gaskets and quickly evolved into shielding materials in electronic devices to stop RF Interference from affecting the proper function of these sensitive electronic...

RF Protective Suit, Protection for 5G Workers, Microwave Workers and Maintenance Personnel!
Most of us know that we are surrounded by RF radiation all of the time. This radiation is of the non-ionizing variety, meaning that it lacks the energy to damage the DNA of a cell and cause mutations. RF is routinely absorbed by the body and the effects of this absorption are called "thermal effects", basically much as a microwave oven can heat water, RF radiation can rapidly warm the body. The eyes and the testes are most vulnerable to...

5G-What’s the Latest Information on how it will Affect our Health?
The coming of 5G has had many people worried about "how will all of that RF radiation affect my health?" since its rollout in 2018. The concern about cell phones in general and their radiation emission has increased over the years, as people spend more time on them and near them than ever before. The FCC developed the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in 1996, at a time when the cell phone was just a phone. The SAR reflected the average...

The COVID-19 Crisis is Easing, but Masks will Certainly be Needed in the Future!
The "Crush" of the COVID-19 Pandemic has likely passed. However, this does not mean an end to the basic precautions that we have been taking for the last three months. We have to maintain some degree of "social distancing", Face Masks to be worn when social distancing isn't feasible, increased washing of the hands, and avoiding touching our faces. As seen by the results after last week's Memorial Day "Holiday Vacation from Social Distancing", this virus still has the potential...

E-Smog, a New Presence by a “True Original” Participant in the RF/EMI Shielded Clothing Market!
E-Smog, one of the original brands in RF/EMI Shielded Clothing, is returning to the market with some new styles. You are able to test the Shielding Effectiveness (SE) of the garments using RF meters and various other methods of testing. Though there are many different testing methods available, one fact remains constant. No matter what method of testing is used, there is a surprising difference in the level of RF/EMI exposure between no coverage (bare skin), coverage with regular clothing,...
