How much is a linear foot?
Because we offer so many different fabrics, of different widths, the easiest way to order is by specifying how long the piece of fabric will be. We describe the length of the fabric purchased in linear feet. So, for example, if you order 22 linear feet of a material, you will get a piece that is 22 feet long x the width of the material. The width of each material is listed near the end of the product description. |

SHIELDITTM SUPER
"With Hot Melt Adhesive"
High quality flame retardant fabric for radiofrequency and microwave shielding. Rugged rip-stop polyester substrate (for superior strength and handling), Nickel and Copper plated (for excellent shielding and low corrosion), then coated on one side with a non-conductive hot melt adhesive (activates at 130ºC = 266ºF) so you can iron it on to cotton, wood, glass or paper, or roll it into a tube and heat seal the seam! Maximum temperature is 200ºC (=392ºF). Can also be cut and sewn like ordinary fabric.
This fabric offers an amazing shielding performance: >60 dB from 10 MHz to 3+ GHz. Will also block virtually all ELF & VLF electric fields when grounded. Great for shielding extension cords and computer cables. Connect strips of it to make a sheet shield under your bed, or hang it on the wall. Makes a great liner for drapes too! Line a vest or a hat to protect your vital organs from radiowaves and electric fields. It doesn’t breathe well, and Nickel may cause skin irritation, so plan to line it with cotton if you will be using it against the skin. 230 g/m², 0.17 mm thick. UL 94V-0 level flame retardant. RoHS Compliant. Gray, 14 inch wide.

MICROWAVE ABSORBING SHEET
Now with plastic coating for easier handling
Carbon is conductive in some forms, and a very good microwave absorber. Using non-woven nearly-pure carbon fibers, to achieve both good microwave shielding and high absorption, this unique material has the following specifications:
Carbon base material (without plastic laminate):
- Width: 48 inch (1219 mm)
- Weight: 34 g/m²
- Thickness: 18 mil (0.445 mm)
- Resistivity: ~3 Ohms per square
- Tensile: 47 N/15mm
We are pleased to offer this improved version of our very low cost microwave absorber sheet. This version is plastic laminated on both sides. This gives better durability and easier handling. Dust is reduced and skin contact is not a problem.
Application Notes:
1- Double or triple the layers of MW Absorbing Sheet to increase effectiveness.
2- To create a super high performance enclosure, you can combine a layer of this Microwave Absorber material with a layer of a high performance fabric shield such as Pure Copper Polyester or Nickel Copper Ripstop. Line the inside of the shield with Absorber... it will scavenge any RF which might leak in.
3- Grounding is not necessary with this material.
4- Minimize repeated bending/flexing of this material
Super light weight. Can be used to line walls and containers, make drapes or partitions. Does not permit air circulation, minimal light penetration.
48 inch wide, but surface is non-conductive due to laminate. Request roll shipping if you need to avoid creases from folding.

ADR® TEX
"Electric Field Shield/Absorber"
So unique it’s almost in a category by itself. ADR® Tex is not really a fabric and not really a plastic. It is a spun polyester-viscose sheet which is saturated with a water-based proprietary salt solution. The properties of the salt provide modest low frequency (up to 100 kHz) electric field shielding without the need for grounding. With grounding the performance is greatly enhanced. In our tests we easily confirmed the 30 dB shielding effect.
Completely safe and comfortable to touch, durable and strong. The activation of the fabric with patented ADR Technology® increases its fire retardant properties without the addition of nasty flame retardant chemicals. Easy to cut with ordinary scissors. Great for wall covering, wrapping wires or electronic equipment. Make a shielded apron or even line pockets with it. Can be built into new construction under floors or walls. Material does not breathe and does not dry out. Lets some light through, but definitely not transparent. Weight: 70g/m2. White. 1 meter wide

LIGHT DUTY FARADAY CANOPY
When Moderate RF Reduction Will Do
Give your body a chance to rest! Attractive and functional canopy can be used over beds or other similar sized areas to reduce radiofrequency radiation. Made from very light weight Swiss Shield Daylight fabric (100% polyester net-knit, with 5% silver-plated copper fiber content) which stops over 80% (16dB) of microwave radiation energy penetration (over at least 200-3000 MHz).
Nice veil-like appearance (plenty of air and light penetration), and has the conductive components on the inside of the threads, so no metal coating to flake and no need for grounding! Canopy covers the top and sides of bed. Easy to get in/out of bed and lots of head room.
Can be washed in gentle cycle, with mild detergent. Even frequent washing seems to do no harm to the shielding power of the fabric. Comes with swag hooks and an easily detachable hoop for easy mounting. Very transportable too.
Some owners say using this product to reduce RF has alleviated their symptoms associated with electrosensitivity, such as ringing in the ears, headaches/migraines, insomnia, confusion, irritability, nausea, circulation problems, etc. 2 sizes:
Light Duty Faraday Canopy King Size (Cat. #A200-K) … $1099.00
Light Duty Faraday Canopy Twin Size (Cat. #A200-T) … $759.00
Need shielding underneath the bed too?
You can order more of the same Swiss Shield Daylite fabric. Material is 8.2 feet wide. Order as many linear feet as you need.

TEXTILE PUSH BUTTON KIT
Dead-man Style Fabric Switch
Here is a very unique switch. Knitted from polyester and stainless steel fibers, an electrical contact is made when the 4x4 cm patch is compressed. Use it for robotic applications, occupancy sensors (in a seat for example), or intrusion alarms (when stepped on). Also great for artistic purposes: put it in a shoe, or attach it to a garment (glove tip or elbow patch for example) to control lights or sounds when you move. Kit includes 2x3 inch fabric switch, LED bulb, conductive thread, instructions, one CR 2032 3V coin battery with battery holder. Just add your own sewing needle, to make the simple educational project shown.

PRESSURE SENSITIVE FABRIC SWITCH
Tape format, 4 cm x 100 cm
Knitted pressure sensitive fabric made of three layers. Two layers of stainless steel are separated by one layer of acrylic fabric. When pressed, the two external layers touch, allowing current flow. This basic sensitive fabric has a functioning equivalent to a push button switch. When you press it you close an electrical circuit. This fabric is compatible with the Arduino platform, and it can be connected to an Arduino controller without any additional hardware.

Shielding Magnetic Fields? |
|
As far as we know, no fabric currently exists which can offer magnetic field shielding (and we keep looking!). However, with very little effort, you can make the next best thing using a little spray adhesive to create a 3-layer sandwich with MetGlas foil on the inside and the fabric of your choice on the two outer sides. The resulting "fabric" has a slight stiffness and is a bit crinkly so you wouldn't want to use it for underwear, but it has great shielding properties and makes great vests, aprons, hats, sheets and more*. Just follow these simple steps: 1] Spread old newspaper or a large dropcloth on a flat surface. 2] Lay the first fabric layer out flat. Here's what it would look like:  3] Spray the entire top side of the fabric with a spray adhesive (easily found at most fabric/craft stores). 4] Lay strips of MetGlas onto the fabric until the entire fabric is covered. Make sure to achieve a slight amount of overlap at all seams but avoid bunching and wrinkles. Handle the foil carefully… it has sharp edges! Here's what it would look like:   * Note: While this material will be light and flexible, repeated bending will cause fatigue fractures in the metal. |
