Details

Shieldex® Bern is a lightweight, non-woven silver-plated fabric engineered for superior electrical conductivity and EMI shielding. This unique conductive textile features a non-woven structure that makes it exceptionally soft, flexible, and easy to work with — ideal for wearable electronics, e-textiles, and electromagnetic shielding applications where comfort and performance are essential.

Unlike traditional woven conductive fabrics, Shieldex® Bern features a non-woven construction that provides a softer hand feel and more uniform conductivity across the entire surface. The silver-plated fibres create a highly conductive network that’s perfect for applications requiring gentle skin contact, such as medical electrodes, biometric sensors, and comfortable wearable devices.

Also available in our Shieldex® range: Shieldex® Balingen and Shieldex® Bonn.

Additional Information

Personal Note: From my experience with this fabric, it does darken over time if exposed to light. It maintains conductivity but the colour changes. If it is kept wrapped when not is use, then the colour remains the same.
