Shieldex® TPU Kit

The Shieldex® TPU Kit is ideally suited as a sample kit for technical applications in the field of textile cable replacement. The Shieldex TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) insulated yarns are highly conductive and offer many advantages over conventional cables due to their textile structure and additional sheathing. The TPU sheathing completely insulates the yarn. The yarn is therefore washable and protected from external influences. Due to the textile structure and the silver-plated yarn, the TPU yarn is an ideal replacement for conventional copper cables. To test the electrically and thermally conductive properties of the TPU yarn, we offer the Shieldex® TPU Kit.

Shielding Fabrics

Shieldex® Silverjersey black

The Shieldex® Silverjersey consists of 17% silver yarn and 83% cotton. The shielding effect of the jersey is approx. 38 dB in the frequency range 0.2 GHz to 5 GHz. In addition to its functionality, the Silverjersey convinces with its particularly soft material as well as its feather-light wearing comfort. Due to its shielding effect, this knitted fabric is particularly suitable for the clothing industry. Shieldex® Silverjersey is OEKO Tex® Standard 100 certified.

Shieldex® Wrapped Yarn-coaxial

In combination with the wrapped yarn Shieldex® 117/17 2ply HCB and our highly electrically and thermally conductive Shieldex® TPU yarn, a coaxial cable could be realized. Coaxial cables consist of an inner conductor (Shieldex® 117/17 2ply HCB TPU), which is constantly surrounded by an outer conductor (Shieldex® 117/17 2ply HCB), shielding the inner conductor from interference radiation.

Wrapped Yarn Black, garment production, smart textiles

Shieldex® Wrapped Yarn-dyed black

Wrapping yarns in any color and with the electrically and thermally conductive properties of Shieldex. Ideal for the apparel industry. Shieldex silver-plated yarn can be easily wrapped around dyed cotton yarns, colored polyester yarns and many more. The silver-plated yarn with its 99.9 % pure silver is not directly affected in the dyeing process and it can therefore be used for almost all dyed yarns without losing any of its positive properties.

Shieldex® Wrapped Yarn-dyed red

Shieldex silver-plated yarn can be easily wrapped around dyed cotton yarns, colored polyester yarns and many more. The silver-plated yarn with its 99.9 % pure silver is not directly affected in the dyeing process and it can therefore be used for almost all dyed yarns without losing any of its positive properties.

Shieldex® Wrapped Yarn-stretch

With an elastic core yarn, our Shieldex yarn becomes a stretchable multi-talent. Specially developed for elastic fabrics and applications, this yarn can revolutionize new developments. The already textile and flexible attributes of the conductive yarns is extended and improved by the elasticity and is therefore the perfect thread for elastic fabrics such as jersey, sweat, cuffs and many more.
