Product description

Shielding Textiles For Life-Guarding Applications
Personal protection clothing secures high voltage line workers

Bekaert Bekinox® stainless steel fibres and yarns provide a high level of electromagnetic shielding. Thanks to the high conductivity of the Bekaert Bekinox ® fibres: 

  • they are ideally suited for electromagnetic shielding textiles
  • they provide a long lifetime to the textile thanks to their excellent wash resistance

With only 30 % of Bekaert Bekinox ® fibres, up to 55dB in a frequency range of 300 to 1000 mHz can be reached.
Susmic® high voltage line garments provide protection against electric fields.
