Technical Embroidery-Flexible Conductive “Wires”!
Technical Embroidery-Flexible Conductive "Wires"! I think of embroidery as "decoration" of garments. Logos, names on uniforms, hats, come to mind when I think about embroidery. The final result is intricate, colorful and adds to the appearance of the embroidered item. Technical embroidery is useful as a way to conduct electricity and data in smart textiles. Using threads and yarns that are plated with Silver, the most conductive element, embroidery is about function now! Hospital...

TPU Wire-a Conductive Yarn “Wire”!
TPU Wire-a Conductive Yarn "Wire"! TPU "Wire" is a silver metalized yarn with Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) coat that acts as an insulator. Silver is the most conductive element, making it logical to use where conductivity is important. TPU is important for insulation purposes in low voltage wire systems. The flexibility of both the yarn and TPU creates a benefit not found in metal wires. Metal wires are not the best conductors to use when the wire is subject to frequent...

Winter’s Coming-Silverell® is Comfy!
Winter's Coming-Silverell® is Comfy! It's that time of the year again, Winter is coming and bringing a lot of coldness! Clothing made of Silverell® Fabrics are very comfortable in this cold season. Clothing from our Silverell® Line or made by you using Silverell® fabric contains Silver, the most conductive element. The thermal conductivity of Silver creates a balanced temperature by distributing the body's heat uniformly throughout the garment, eliminating "hot spots" and "cold spots". The garments are also soft and...

Personal/Home Shielding reduces EMI Exposure!
Personal/Home Shielding reduces EMI Exposure! In today's wireless world, we endure constant exposure to RF waves. Though there is no absolute proof of health risks due to RF wave exposure, there is certainly concern regarding exposure. EHS (Electromagnetic HyperSensitivity), the name given to EMI sensitivity, involves nervous system symptoms. Symptoms include headaches, fatigue, stress, sleep disturbances, and skin irritation among many others. Many sufferers of EHS claim that their symptoms decline when they shield themselves from RF/EMI exposure. Personal Shielding...

Cotton and Silver Together make Great Clothing!
Cotton and Silver Together make Great Clothing! We all know cotton is a natural fabric, planted in the spring and harvested in the fall. Cotton is very versatile; it can be woven in a variety of thicknesses to change its feel. It is incredibly strong, which helps your clothing last longer. Incredibly, cotton gets stronger when it is wet, allowing washing, losing dirt without losing its shape! Cotton is non-allergenic, making it terrific for those with sensitive...
