 Conductive Textile

Conductive textile and textile tape are very easy to apply to plastic housings to create an EMI-shielded housing.

Conductive textile is made of a nylon ripstop fabric, metallized with Cu/Ni, extremely strong and flexible. It has conductivity in all directions, i.e. along the axes X, Y and Z. Conductive textile can be supplied as a cloth or as pressure-sensitive adhesive (PAS) tape wich is easy to apply to plastic housings in order to cover complex forms and shapes. Conductive textile has low contact resistance and the tape version has superior adhesive force. The product shields electromagnetic interference (EMI) effectively.

Laminates of metal foils with flame-retardant Nomex or Valox are also available; see our Mu-copper tapes or Amucor tapes.

Our engineers can help you develop the right design to create overlaps, holes or connectors, cables and spuds.

We’ve also developed a fabric that can be washed. See also our washable conductive fabric with stainless steel click here.

Conductive textile is also used to make Shielded tents, Protective clothing, bags, etc.

Conductive textile tape can be cut to any width

Part numbers
4711 – Conductive textile cloth

Our conductive textile cloth can be delivered on rolls or as a sheet. The cloth can also be cut into any desired shape according to a customer’s CAD drawing.

Part numbers
4712 – Conductive textile tape with standard adhesive

Our conductive textile tape with standard non-conductive adhesive on the back can be supplied on rolls. The tape is easy to use, e.g. for shielding cables. After application of the tape, the cables remain flexible.

4713 – Conductive textile tape with conductive adhesive

Our conductive textile tape with conductive adhesive on the back can be supplied on rolls. The tape is easy to use, e.g. for shielding cables. After application of the tape, the cables remain flexible.

4714 / 4715 – Conductive textile tape with insulation layer

Our conductive textile tape with adhesive on the back can be supplied with a 0.15 mm thick white insulation layer or with a 0.22 mm thick black one, and can be delivered on rolls.
