Black Conductive Fabric with Adhesive Backing

A maker's secret weapon for clean, flexible circuit layouts. This black conductive fabric with sticky backing lets you cut any shape you need, press it into place, and sew it down — no fussy glues required. Ideal for mapping out circuits, creating custom electrode shapes, or adding structured conductive elements to your wearables.

Available in 10×10cm and 20×20cm pieces, all hand-cut (slight size variations are normal).

⚠️ Important: This fabric is conductive and must not be worn directly against skin. Always layer it under fabric or a similar barrier.

Specifications

• Material: Copper + Polyester + Nickel + Carbon
• Weave: Plain
• Color: Black
• Surface Resistance: <0.03 Ω
• Shielding: RF & LF Electromagnetic fields
• Frequency Range: 30 MHz – 35 GHz
• Damping: 65–85 dB
• Backing: Adhesive (peel & stick for placement; sew to secure permanently)

Tips for Use

Use the sticky backing to position and hold your cut shapes while prototyping, then sew them down for a permanent, durable connection. The fabric cuts cleanly with scissors and sews easily — just keep it away from bare skin in the final garment.
