Shieldex Electrical and Thermal Conductivity

Modern infrared sensors and thermal imaging cameras enable the identification of people, objects and infrastructure even in complete darkness. Shieldex develops multispectral shielding materials to reduce thermal and electromagnetic signatures.

The metallised textiles provide high reflectivity in the wavelength range of 780 nm to 20,000 nm, enabling targeted infrared and thermal shielding and minimising detectability in security-critical applications.

The materials can be integrated into combat uniforms, ghillie suits and sleeping bags. Furthermore, they are suitable for passive camouflage devices such as tents, ponchos and vehicle covers.

In military infrastructure applications, the shielding materials are also used in Mobile Command Posts (MCP) and other protective textile system solutions where reduction of thermal signatures is required.

Shieldex provides standard materials as well as customised solutions including after-sales services such as repair, adaptation and modification.

For over 48 years, Shieldex is specialized in the field of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), producing and distributing shielding materials and EMC fabrics, supplying the most diverse and varied industries.

Shieldex uses only silver with a purity of at least 99% to ensure the best quality standard, as evidenced by various certificates. Our unique combination of polyamide and precious metals such as silver, copper, nickel and tin offers the possibility of multifunctional applications in various fields.

Shieldex® EMC Enclosures
Shieldex® EMC Enclosures are used for RF measurements, mobile forensic activities and pre-compliance testing. These mobile and flexible textile Faraday cages, made of shielding fabrics, can save time and money compared to external facilities. The unique, three-layer shielding effectiveness is up to 95 dB from 0.03 GHz to 16 GHz.

Shieldex Fabrics
As the global market leader in silver-plated fabrics, we finish woven, knitted and non-woven fabrics with 99% pure silver, but also with copper, nickel and tin. A multilayer combination of these metals is also possible. Especially in the field of EMC, the fabrics provide a shielding effectiveness of up to 100 dB in the frequency range 0.2 GHz to 14 GHz.

For our products we exclusively use pure silver with a purity grade of at least 99%. Thus, we consciously distance ourselves from harmful nano-silver.

Shieldex develops and manufactures metallised yarns as well as woven, knitted and nonwoven fabrics as functional base materials for technical textile applications.

Depending on requirements, the textile substrates are plated with silver (≥ 99 % purity) and additional metals such as copper, nickel or tin. Multi-layer metallisation enables the realisation of different electrical, thermal and shielding properties.

The materials form the basis for applications in EMI shielding, multispectral shielding as well as electrical conductivity and sensing.

The textile structure ensures flexibility, further processability and integration into industrial manufacturing processes.

Shieldex develops textile solutions for applications in security-critical and communication-relevant environments.

The metallised textiles enable the reduction of electromagnetic emissions, minimisation of thermal signatures and integration of conductive functions into textile structures.

Applications include mobile and stationary communication systems, protected working environments, security-related infrastructure as well as governmental and military use cases.

The textile materials can be flexibly integrated into existing systems and enable functional solutions with low weight and high adaptability.
