Statex Shieldex

Silver coated nylon yarns, flock and fibers 

Statex® Production and Manufacturing Company, based in Germany, specializes in metallizing nylon yarns and fabrics with 99% pure silver. Statex also plates with silver/copper, silver/copper/nickel and silver/copper/tin based on application needs.

During the past 2000 years, many civilizations have recognized the properties of silver in preventing diseases. For instance, the Romans used silver nitrate therapeutically, and the hermetic and alchemical writings of Paracelsus speak of the virtues of silver as a healing substance. In the 1800s, several physicians discovered the antibacterial (anti germ) qualities of silver and applied them to their practice of medicine. 

Electrical Conductivity

Medical
For DTL-electrodes, Statex silver-coated yarn is suitable to record retinal potentials from the cornea. EMI/RFI Shielding. Silver provides excellent conductivity that yields both Electromagnetic Shielding (EMI shielding) and Radio Frequency Shielding (RFI) shielding. Applications using Statex fabrics, fibers and yarn include fabric-over-foam gaskets, cable shielding, conductive tapes, filters, flexible shielded enclosures and packing material.

Anti-static
Statex plated fibers, yarns and fabrics allow for static discharge when incorporated into antistatic carpet systems, clothing as well as clean room and medical clinic environments. 

Radar and infra red 
When used in products manufactured to military standards, Statex fabrics prevent detection by infra-red and radar. Applications include protection clothing, tents, radar reflection and radiating antenna.

Plated Fabrics

Shieldex® plated fabrics are available both in woven and non-woven varieties. They range from Silver, Nickel-Copper to Tin-Copper. They are available in plain or rip-stop weave---- Shieldex® plated fabrics are unique in their plated quality. Excellence in production is guaranteed.

Medical, Military & Industrial Applications

Shieldex® Ultra-Flex Conductive Fabric Tape
(available with and without mask)

Ultra-Flex Shielding Tape provides

• High flexibility and durability

• High conductivity & shielding effectiveness

• Very strong conductive adhesive system

• End user safety, no more cut fingers from razor sharp foil edges.

• Easy cutting & processing without fraying that are typical with rip-stop fabric tapes.

• Total galvanic compatibility with all mating surfaces, which is not always possible with other typical plated fabrics.

New in the program are conductive hook + loop fasteners, zippers and safety pouches. 

Conductive fabrics for shielding purpose

Conductive Ultraflex shielding tapes

Shieldex® Ultra-Flex Tapes are both flexible and tear resistant. Manufactured from non-woven polyamide continuous filaments that are metallized with copper and tin, Ultra-Flex Tape has extremely high conductivity as well as durable corrosion protection. EMI shielding effectiveness is an average of 80dB (Military Standard 285, modified).  A conductive adhesive on the bottom bonds the tape to the substrate. An optional masking layer can protect the tape during painting and spraying operations. Both versions of the tape are available in different widths and lengths. Please refer to the detailed information in the data sheets.

Shieldex® Ultra-Flex Tape delivers: flexibility and durability high conductivity & shielding effectiveness abrasion resistant very good peel strength from conductive adhesive system manufacturing safety; no more cut fingers from razor-sharp foil edged tapes easy die cutting & processing without that fraying that is typical with rip-stop fabric tapes Total galvanic compatibility with all types of mating surfaces, which is not always possible with other plated fabric tapes and foils.

Conductive filler for adhesives & elastomers

Plated fibers, yarn, woven & non-woven fabrics
Electroless, galvanic or combination treatments, also with variable layer thickness tailor-made to customers' needs. Flexibility and adhesion enable Shieldex® metallized fibers, yarns and fabrics to withstand all textile treatments, such as; spinning, weaving, needle felting, and sewing.
