Rough Conditions Require Rugged Textiles!
Rough Conditions Require Rugged Textiles! Conductive textiles are thin and lightweight. Normally, these are excellent characteristics for many of their uses. Metalized textiles are used in many electronic devices for shielding. Electronic technology is becoming smaller all the time. Shielding solutions must be flexible and adaptable to fit in tight spaces. However, there are times that rugged characteristics are important. Due to their fine structure, conductive textiles are usually not particularly durable. The delicate nature of these shielding giants limits...

What is Conductive Mesh-how is it used?
What is Conductive Mesh-how is it used? Conductive Mesh is a knitted metal plated fabric with pores. The fabric is Nylon 6, Nylon 6.6 or polyester. The pore size varies, pores can be big or small. If they are small, the mesh can be used for filtered ventilation. Conductive mesh vents are often used in the ventilation systems of our RF Shielded Testing Enclosures. Conductive meshes are useful in face masks to filter the air of particulate matter. Conductive mesh...

Non-woven Metalized Fabrics-what are their uses?
Non-woven Metalized Fabrics-what are their uses? The concept of a non-woven metalized fabric is hard to grasp. They are not made by weaving or knitting. They consist of Nylon 6.6 fibers. These fibers are NOT converted to yarns. The fibers are pin bonded together in a three-dimensional matrix. This process yields a uniform fabric with dimensional stability, and high tear and tensile strength. The fabric can be plated with Silver, Copper, Nickel, and Tin. These varied metal platings yield different...
