YSHIELD® SILVER-ELASTIC | Shielding fabric | Width 150 cm | 1 meter

Properties

SILVER-ELASTIC is a compact, full silvered spandex fabric for HF+LF shielding. Typical application to sew articles of clothing. Due to the high elasticity perfect as close-fitting laundry.

Special feature: This fabric is elastic, to sew articles of clothing, please consider the shrink and extensibility rates at the „Technical data“.

• High screening attenuation, especially at high frequencies!
• Contactable (groundable) to shield LF electric fields
• Textile similar characteristics: Washable, easy to process. Exception: Do not iron.
• Quality grade: Very high

Silver products

• Silver products discolour with time and often already have discolorations right from the start. If you don’t want to accept discolorations, please choose Swiss-Shield® fabrics.
• Silver fabrics have a limited durability, depending on the frequency of movement.
• Our silver fabrics do not contain any nano silver, but a thick metallic silver coating.

Grounding

This product with an electrically conductive surface has to be integrated into the functional-equipotential bonding (FEB). Please find suitable grounding accessories under "Grounding".

Shielding attenuation HF & LF

This product shields high frequency electromagnetic fields (HF). Unless otherwise stated, the indicated dB-values apply to 1 GHz. Measurement from 600 MHz to 40 GHz according to standards ASTM D4935-10 or IEEE Std 299-2006.

This product with an electrically conductive surface shields low-frequency alternating electric fields (LF).

Laboratory & expert report of shielding attenuation up to 40 GHz

We have already invested in our own professional EMV laboratory years ago. We not only use it to create our laboratory screening reports but also to check each batch daily. Additionally, we have all our products checked by an independent, well-respected expert. Double checked for twice the safety. Please find the reports above at the downloads.

Ready for 5G

Some companies offer "special" 5G-products. This products shields all 5G-frequencies, even without advertising this! Find two gray bars in all shielding diagrams with the 5G frequency spectrums FR1 (600 MHz – 6GHz) and FR2 (24 GHz – 40 GHz).
