HIGH CONDUCTIVE

HC | HIGH CONDUCTIVE EMBROIDERY THREAD

Smart textiles are intelligent garments with functionality integrated directly into the fabric. The key to stable operation is the electrical circuitry.

In smart textiles, the use of hard traditional materials for electronic circuitry is often problematic as they are not flexible enough, tend to crack, are not washable and don’t feel comfortable on the skin.

Cutting edge manufacturing technology transforms Statex’s well known Shieldex yarn into a state-of-the-art embroidery thread with unrivalled machining performance. This polyamide thread with durable 100% silver plating around every single filament offers high conductivity and optimised contact points and circuit paths. Also suitable as sewing thread, it is the smart choice for innovative textiles in sportswear, workwear, medical, fashion, automotive, home textiles and many other e-textile applications.

HC threads can be hidden between two layers of fabric or smooth enough to be directly on the skin. This flexible yarn has been specially developed for all kinds of electronic application and can be used to create circuitry for sensors, actuators, heating, sound transmission or to attach LED sequins.
