FlecTron Nickel/Copper Fabric

FlecTron^®
Nickel/Copper Fabric

FlecTron Nickel/Copper Polyester Taffeta is a unique fabric, manufactured using a patented, proprietary technology. This technology combines highly conductive copper and corrosion resistant nickel with the light weight, flexibility, conformability, strength and uniform appearance of a woven fabric. Nickel/Copper Polyester Taffeta offers excellent surface conductivity, shielding effectiveness, and reflectivity for a variety of applications such as enclosures, curtains, cable wrap, tape, shielding laminates and grounding.
