V Technical Textiles, Inc. announces a new etched metalized fabric, the VshieldTex Etchtex. This product is made of tin/copper/silver conductive fabrics and is offered in both standard and custom designs. It offers design flexibility, durability and high conductivity.
The VshieldTex Etchtex offers solutions in capacitance sensor, resistive heating, flexible circuit, smart textile, patch antenna, heated clothing, smart gloves and wireless communications industries and applications.
“Utilizing a proprietary process, V Technical Textiles has worked with a third party in developing the ability to selectively remove sections of metal from the conductive fabrics; in order to produce specific designs within the body of Tin/Copper/Silver conductive textiles. This ability allows for the production of both standard and custom designed sensors, resistive heaters, antennas, and other associated flexible lightweight solutions to these industries,” according to the company.
