Shieldex: Offers Unlimited Possibilities in Metallized Textile Materials
With over 40 years of experience, Shieldex® is the global market leader in the field of silvered yarns and fabrics as well as antimicrobial, thermally and electrically conductive solutions for textile and flexible applications.
Shieldex® products are suitable for a variety of applications. Shieldex® products are suitable for a variety of applications. Silver-plated yarns are processed in the technical clothing and textile industry, and the automotive sector benefits from the electrically and thermally conductive properties of the textiles. Fabrics finished with silver, copper, nickel and tin provide shielding in the field of data security.
Antiviral & Antibacterial Solutions
Shieldex® has been offering innovative solutions for the health and medical market for over 15 years and is particularly used in wound management and antimicrobial products. The Shieldex® technology combines quality, longevity and sustainability. The 99.9% pure silver in the textile has an antimicrobial, odor-inhibiting and temperature-regulating effect while reducing bacteria: clothing can be washed less often at low temperatures. Shieldex® textiles are incorporated, for instance, into: sportwear, socks, bed linen, towels, masks, pouches and gloves. Antimicrobial Shieldex® products are manufactured in accordance with the biocides regulation (EU).
Textile Elektrodes-Sensing- Heating-Lighting
Textile electrodes are ideal for TENS or EMS applications due to their Textile structure whereby the Textile electrodes can be applied to rather difficult to treat areas and transmit the information to the electronics from there as well. Due to the electrical and thermal conductivity of our Shieldex® products, they can easily be integrated as heating and lighting structures. Clothes stay elastic and flexible and are more comfortable on the skin.
