Shieldex and VTT- “Family Businesses”!
Shieldex and VTT-"Family Businesses"! I was able to interview Robert Erichsen, the CEO of Shieldex recently during his first visit with us in three years. Shieldex is VTT's European partner, providing us with conductive metalized textiles, that VTT markets and uses in our fabricated products. The close relationship between Shieldex and V Technical Textiles, Inc. spans many years and is rooted in family and business ties. Robert Erichsen, CEO of Shieldex Randy: It's been a few...

Lubricate Thread-Eliminate Breaks and Snarling!
Lubricate Thread-Eliminate Breaks and Snarling! Sewing thread is subject to heat buildup, snarling, static and snagging. These problems are caused by coarse thread causing friction with the needle. This friction can result in temperatures as high as 350°C/662°F, resulting in the thread melting and breaking. The final insult to the thread is its trip through the needle's eye and the fabric, which can also cause filament damage. Lubrication is important in the reduction of heat in many situations, automobiles, surface...

Rugged Conditions Require Ruggedized Textiles!
Rugged Conditions Require Ruggedized Textiles! RF Shielded Enclosures are usually located indoors, protecting them from the elements. The thin conductive textiles used to manufacture enclosures can't stand up well unprotected in extreme conditions. Wind, rain, and ocean spray can damage or destroy the enclosures very quickly. The military and law enforcement often need command centers for their activities to be portable and able to stand up to tough conditions. Lives are at stake in these harsh environments as well as...

Conductive Textiles-What are their uses?
Conductive Textiles-What are their uses? Conductive Textiles are often used in "technical applications". VTT markets conductive textiles, meaning an electrical current can pass through them. That current can be a "message", "data", or part of a circuit. Metals are great electrical conductors. The most conductive metal is Silver, followed by Copper and Gold. Gold is rarely used in conductive textiles due to its cost. VTT's conductive textiles are primarily plated or coated with Silver, Copper, Nickel, and...

VTT Shielded Enclosures-Testing Gamechangers!
VTT Shielded Enclosures-Testing Gamechangers! RF Shielded Chambers have been around for a long time! The "standard" RF Shielded Chamber was a brick-and-mortar structure with solid metal walls, ceilings, and floors. It was heavy, immobile, extremely expensive to construct, and required the Device Under Testing (DUT) to come to the chamber for testing. For more than two decades, William Hoge and VTT have been designing and manufacturing a radically different style of RF Shielded Enclosures than the "old standard". His use...

RF Shielding-Block Unwanted Access!
RF Shielding-Block Unwanted Access! Our wireless devices store our private information. We count on them to keep that information secure from unwanted access. We are able to access our bank and credit card information and use it daily. Businesses use their computers to store confidential information about their customers and trade secrets. Sadly, there are hackers out there who would like to use this information in criminal ways! It seems like we hear about data breaches daily or weekly on...
