Modern Applications of Conductive Metalized Textiles!

RF Shielding-Valuable in Electronics!

RF Shielding-Valuable in Electronics!  We all know that all electronic devices must pass EMC compliance testing prior to marketing.  Without RF Shielding, EMC would be impossible to achieve!  Shielding protects electronic devices from RFI and EMI emissions that would make optimal performance impossible.  Shielding is valuable in several ways, firstly, by blocking emissions that will adversely affect the operation of nearby devices, increasing the overall operation of the component.  Secondly, shielding materials block emissions from other nearby devices that will...
The Remarkable Evolution of EMC!

RF Shielding creates Device Compatibility!

RF Shielding creates Device Compatibility!  Everyone knows some people who are very talented at what they do, but they can't work together!  The mere presence of the two of them in the same room ruins the work environment. The same thing is true of electronic components, electronic devices do jobs well.  When the components have to work in a shared electromagnetic environment, they have to be compatible.  With people, it's their personalities that can make them incompatible, unable to work...
Navigating EMC Testing

EMC Compliance Testing-what’s the Point?

EMC Compliance Testing-what's the Point?  Every electronic device must pass EMC Compliance Testing to make it to the market!  The reason for this requirement is to lessen the amount of RFI/ EMI in our environment.  More importantly, it is to lessen the RFI and EMI in our environment that adversely affects the function of other devices present in the shared electromagnetic environment.  All electronic devices emit RFI/EMI.  In general, electromagnetic interference doesn't cause a decrease in function of the devices...

Non-Woven Conductive Textiles-Very Useful!

Garments, Pouches, Shielding,-Conductive Textiles!

Garments, Pouches, and Shielding-Conductive Textiles!  The uses of conductive fabrics are many and varied.  Originally, the primary use of conductive metalized textiles was RF Shielding, allowing electronic devices to work together smoothly a shared electromagnetic environment.  All electronic devices emit electromagnetic radiation.  Depending on the frequency of the EMI/RFI, electronic devices can work together smoothly.  RF Shielding uses conductive textiles to block the offending frequencies that disturb normal function of a device.  Engineers love the flexibility of conductive textiles in...
Pre-Compliance EMC Testing- Beneficial!

Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Smart Preparation!

Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Smart Preparation!  There are many important tests in life!  Smart preparation makes tests easier to pass!  If you are developing new electronic products for the market, you know that passing a Final EMC Compliance Test is necessary to market your product.  Final Compliance Certification means that your product will fit in smoothly with the shared electromagnetic environment that it will function in.  The best way to prepare your device for the Final EMC Compliance test is to perform...
Faraday Pouches-Safeguarding your Data in a Wireless World!

RF Shielded Pouches protect your Privacy!

RF Shielded Pouches protect your Privacy!  We live in a digital world where we can access our information easily from our electronic devices.  The problem with that is that there are "digital criminals" out there trying to hack your devices for nefarious reasons.   Identity theft, fraudulent emails asking for you to give your private information for any number of reasons.  Credit Card numbers, bank account numbers, and even your identity information are what they're after.  Identity theft can be devastating...
Metalized Conductive Textiles Applications-Variety!

Do Conductive Textiles touch your Life?

Do Conductive Textiles touch your Life?  Most people will tell you that they don't!  The fact is they touch most of our lives on a daily basis.  Go out and get in your car and turn it on without buckling your seat belt.  That is a conductive textile telling you that you need to protect yourself and your passengers by buckling your seatbelt.  The conductive spacer material has sensed that you are in your seat, but the seatbelt is not...
Holistic Health uses for Metalized Textiles!

Wellness-does Clothing play a Role?

Wellness-does Clothing play a Role?  Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence.  I like this definition because it allows people to be "well" though they may be clinically "sick".  V Technical Textiles, Inc. markets "Wellness Clothing".  I do believe that clothing can play a factor in wellness.  Clothing can make people feel better about themselves by providing them comfort and a positive self-image.  Our "Wellness Clothing" makes people...

Pre-Compliance Testing- a Real Benefit!

Pre-Compliance Testing-a Real Benefit!  Preparation is the way to go when it comes to testing in general.  This is particularly true in the case of electronic products.  Starting with the prototype, it is smart to build Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC) into any new product.  It is best practice to incorporate basic EMC into the design of the product and run Pre-Compliance EMC testing starting early in development.  Waiting until your product is completely built to start testing it is a folly. ...
