  • Conductive Woven Materials

    STM’s conductive woven materials are available in silver only and silver with nickel for added durability, corrosion resistance and conductivity.

    Our standard rip stop and taffeta fabrics are characterized by a tightly woven construction and high tensile strength, with weights ranging from 1.4 to 2.4 oz. per yd² and shielding effectiveness of -65 dB at 1 GHz.

    These materials are capable of performing through harsh environmental exposure, while maintaining exceptional breathability. These characteristics make our conductive woven materials suitable for uses ranging from flexible sensors and circuits to EMI shielding gaskets to architectural shielding.
