Need Conductive Embroidery Yarns? We have the ones you Want!
Need Conductive Embroidery Yarns? We have the ones you Want! Conductive Yarns and Threads have replaced metal wires in Smart Clothes! It only makes sense, clothes are made of textiles, not wires. Metal wires will ultimately develop stress fractures from repeated flexing. These stress fractures will result in circuit failure. Conductive yarns are plated with metal, making them conductive! These conductive threads are able to flex with the clothing. This makes them more comfortable to the wearer than wires. ...

What is Conductive Embroidery, how is it Used?
What is Conductive Embroidery, how is it used? Conductive Embroidery is not just your grandmother's hobby anymore! It is the newest trend in smart clothing circuits, sensors, and electrodes! New highly conductive yarns and threads have been developed. These threads and yarns are silver plated and can be used in embroidery machines. Silver is the most conductive metal. Solid silver wires were previously used in Smart Clothing. The problem was that the clothing had to flex with its wearer. Silver...

What is Conductive Velcro?
What is Conductive Velcro and How is it used? Conductive Hook and Loop is the same product that we all know as Velcro, the only difference being is that it is made electrically conductive by coating the small hooks and loops that make it up with a conductive metal. The conductive metal used in Shieldex® Conductive Hook and Loop is 99% pure Silver. Silver is the best metal conductor of electricity.What is Conductive Hook and Loop used...

Conductive Textiles, What are they and what are their Uses?
Conductive Textiles, What are they and What are their Uses?
A conductive textile is a fabric, thread, or fastener that conducts electricity. Conductive textiles consist of a less conductive fiber or fabric that is made conductive by being coated with electrically conductive elements. These elements are often Silver, Copper, Nickel, and titanium. These elements are plated, embedded, or coated onto the less conductive substrate. These substrates typically include polyester and Nylon. These fabrics, threads, and yarns are highly conductive and sensitive. ...

Highly Conductive Yarns and Threads, the new Wires in Smart Clothing!
Highly Conductive Yarns and Threads, the new "wires" in smart clothing! Think about it, when smart clothing first came out, there were actual wires used to make connections! The problem with these wires is that they were not particularly flexible, comfortable, compact, or durable. The traditional wire circuitry did not stand up to the constant flexing of the human body or the extremes of the cleansing process, moisture and temperature. Often, the product did not stand the "test of time...

Conductivity Rules in Smart Clothing-Create the Path of Least Resistance!
Conductivity rules in smart clothing-create the path of least resistance! In the near future, nearly all of our clothes will be smart. Smart clothing is made of fabrics that allow digital components, sensors, connections, and power to be incorporated in them. These components allow the clothing to assist the wearer in daily activity. They can monitor body systems, facilitate communication, incorporate lighting and heating and environmental conditions for safety and comfort. The key to all of this is electrical conductivity. Conductivity...
