Minors defects (such as small pulls, small holes, or minor discolorations) are a natural part of the production of these high tech fabrics.
Manufacturers allow defects up to 1% of the area of the fabric. We find that actual defects are much less than that, but are impossible to avoid entirely.

TechniCOT
All Natural RF Shielding Fabric
We like simple, and we like natural. TechniCot is both and we think youll like it as well. Weaving only pure Silver
and cotton fibers, we created this fabulous shielding and conductive fabric which is soft, good looking, and
completely safe for skin contact. Light gray in color, it feels luxurious in the hand, making it perfect for lining a
jacket, or making a shirt or light-weight pants. Looks terrific in curtains and drapes too. Many technical applications
are possible as well. Cuts and sews like ordinary fabric.
Highly conductive on both sides at ~1 Ohm/sq, TechniCot offers at least 4555dB over 10MHz to 4 GHz

SAFETY SILK
Natural Silk plus Pure Silver
Silk is known for centuries as a luxurious fabric with an amazing, well, silky
feel. New technology permits blending real silk with ultra-fine, pure, real
Silver fibers to create this very unique material. Somewhat sheer, but quite
strong and very nice against the skin. It has very high surface conductivity
and good RF shielding.
Makes a great ascot, scarf, jacket liner, pillowcase, or underwear. Of course,
its a natural choice for a vest, kimono, sarong, robe or pajamas. Highly
conductive on both sides at <1 Ohm/sq, Safety Silk offers at least 40 dB over
10MHz to 4 GHz

TEXCARE
Laundry Detergent For Shielding Textiles With Silver Or Stainless Steel Threads.
Special recipe detergent preserves the shielding performance, saves the environment and is suitable for many allergy sufferers.
After many years of experience with shielding fabrics we found out that some laundry detergents are bad for the shielding attenuation. In addition, customers
who suffer from MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity syndrome) reported some brands cause an undesirable odor. This new laundry detergent, developed in
cooperation with a prestigious manufacturer of eco-detergents, will not react with our Silver or stainless steel shielding fabrics which are washable.
It contains no fragrances, coloring agents, complexing agents, preservatives, enzymes, genetic engineering, petrochemicals, and all ingredients are 100 %
biodegradable.
1 liter is enough for 20 loads. The dosage is independent of the water hardness. Pour 50 ml TEXCARE
per load in the detergent drawer or put it straight in the drum. Select delicate cycle with washing at
30C. Can also be used for hand washing. Please take note of the fabric care label, respective to
washability, ironing and drying!

SILVERSPUN YARN
"Knocks the Stuffing Out of Static"
High Tech meets homespun! What could you make with conductive yarn? Static wont stick,
and grounding is a breeze. Microwave shielding is a natural benefit! This American-made all
natural cotton yarn spun contains pure Silver. The Silver content in SilverSpun makes it both
therapeutic and conductive. Silver kills a number of bacteria, including those that cause odor,
has excellent thermal properties, is nontoxic and is perfect for those suffering from diabetes,
arthritis and sensitive skin. Silver also allows Smartphone or other touch screen use while
wearing gloves knit from the yarn. The silver is permanently adhered to the yarn and will not wash out. Can be used to make smart
textiles and simple circuits. Highly conductive, about 10 Ohm per inch. Light gray, teal, or violet color.
87% combed cotton, 5% silver, 5% nylon, 3% Spandex.

BOBBIN THREADS
CONDUCTIVE THREAD
"Silver Plated Nylon, bulk"
Need to sew with conductive thread? Want to add a conductive stitch to a non-conductive fabric?
With conductive thread, you can add conductivity to any fabric, make conductive traces as easily as sewing, even use it as uninsulated low
voltage wiring.
66 Yarn 22+3ply 110 PET.
Resistance: <1000 Ohm/10cm
Yields about 2770 meters per 100g.
Supplied 100g per cone. (~2769 meters)
Conductive Thread (Cat. #A1226) $39.95 per cone
Quantum Tunnelin
It is claimed that electrons pass through the insulation by a process called quantum tunneling. In classical physics, the electrons cannot pass through an
insulating barrier, but according to quantum theory a wave can and this is what happens in QTC. Another way of describing the quantum tunneling effect is
to say that a non-zero probability exists of electrons one side of the insulation barrier appearing on the other side.
QTC can be used as a solid state switch - in the "off" state it is a good insulator and in the "on" state it is as good as a metal conductor. It can be used to detect
even very small changes due to compression, tension or other stresses and it can carry significant currents allowing for the direct control of loads.
Rated for over one million compressions.
The maximum specified voltage is 40V, maximum current is 10 Amps.
Temperature variation (for a current of 1microA) shows an
approximately linear increase in the resistance (R=63MOhm to
R=1240MOhm) observed from 25C to 180C.
Each piece is 4x4x1 mm.
QTC (Cat. #A253) ............ $2.00
The paints conductive properties do not degrade over time. In-house samples demonstrate that the material
can last years if treated properly and kept dry. Electric Paint is well suited for screen-printing with meshes
ranging from 43t to 90t. The paint is slightly resistive- at approximately 55 ohms per square. The
conductivity of Electric Paint increases as it dries, therefore wait until it is completely dry to test your
projects. 10ml squeeze tube. Black.
