EMI shielding fibers and yarns for textiles

Applications include garments to protect people performing maintenance on high-voltage lines, and fabrics used for radar camouflage nets. Architectural shielding includes adding fibers and yarns to the plaster of walls to protect houses from radiation from the outsideMedical shielding applications include textiles for animals and humans to combat phantom pains.

Bekinox® stainless steel fibers and yarns are an ideal component for EMI shielding textiles. With a shielding protection up to 60 dB in a frequency range of 300 to 10 GHz, Bekinox® nearly matches highly efficient alternatives like silver and copper. While these metals lose almost all protective value after only a few washes, Bekinox® is perfectly machine-washable. In addition, Bekinox® can be combined with flame-retardant fibers to protect the wearer from heat. Diameters as thin as 6.5 µm result in superior conductivity and shielding properties.
