- Excellent EMI/RFI shielding effectiveness (typically >60dB)
- Soft, flexible, and drapeable for comfortable wearables
- Washable and durable silver-plated coating
- Can be sewn, cut, and integrated into garments
- Biocompatible and skin-safe
Common Applications:
- Wearable sensor electrodes and contact pads
- Smart clothing and e-textile projects
- EMI/EMF shielding garments
- Capacitive touch interfaces
- Grounding straps and conductive pathways
- Medical and health monitoring devices
Technical Details:
- Material: Silver-plated nylon knit
- Surface resistivity: <1 Ω/sq (typical)
- Washable up to 30°C
- Stretchable and conformable
Whether you're building a heart rate monitor vest, creating touch-sensitive fabric interfaces, or prototyping the next generation of smart textiles, Shieldex® Balingen delivers professional-grade performance you can rely on."
Metallized with pure silver, Shieldex® Balingen is an electrically and thermally conductive fabric. With an electrical conductivity of < 0.6 Ω/□ and a silver content of approx. 20%, this conductive fabric is ideal for smart textiles and sensory applications, but also for antimicrobial products in the hygiene sector.
Silver is a biocidal active substance according to Section 67 of the EU Biocide Regulation.
