100% Stainless Steel
Ultra Fine Fabric
Multi Use & Electromagnetic Shielding Fabric
 
Forget about "Space Age" materials, this
 material has uses and implications for the
 "Information Age".

 This exotic textile has a multitude of entirely
different applications, some of which are waiting
to be discovered. Woven entirely from a proprietary
 stainless steel alloy. Strong, flexible, soft to the
 touch, allows air and light to pass through. Looks,
 feels, cuts, and sews just like a traditional fiber
 fabric, but that where the similarity ends.

This textile is composed of thousands of ultra
fine stainless steel wires nearly as thin as human
hair. Unless you feel the exposed edge of this
fabric with your finger, it is difficult to tell the
difference between this material and a stiff
finish nylon fabric.
 
 Don't confuse this material with cheaper, less
durable metallic coated or blended fabrics that
 contain mostly polyester or bamboo fiber
 interwoven with a few strands of metal wire, that
provide minimal Electromagnetic Shielding. This
100% Stainless Steel Fabric provides up to 70 dB
of Electromagnetic Shielding.

This material is durable and hard wearing, resists
temperatures up to 1200 F. Can not be burned or
 melted without use of a welding torch or industrial
incinerator.

This material was originally woven for use as filter
medium for industrial chemical and powder
processing because of the chemical and corrosion
resistance of its all stainless steel construction.
However, it was soon discovered that this material
has an inherent ability to provide a very high
degree of Electromagnetic shielding. Physicists
call this capability the faraday cage effect.

Recently, this material has been used to make
  wallets and pouches that provide protection from
electronic identity theft and electronic surveillance.
Radio Frequency Identification tags (RFID tags)
used in no-swipe credit cards, access key cards
and badges, Ezee tag type Electronic Toll
Collection and the new United States Passports.

These increasingly common RFID tag devices are
great for convenience. However, unscrupulous
individuals can use a commonly available RF
scanner to "hijack" the information that these
devices store in order to steal your credit card and
identity information, and to possibly track your
movements in public places.

Our 100% Stainless Steel Ultra Fine Fabric is thin,
strong and flexible enough to be used as the
outer layer of a wallet or pouch, or can be sewn
between layers of traditional fabric to conceal
its RFID shielding capability.

Another use for this material that is gaining
popularity in Europe and Asia; is in maternity
clothing and specifically in maternity dresses
and work aprons.

Several recent medical & scientific studies have
suggested a link between Electromagnetic
Radiation (Radio Waves and Electromagnetic
Fields) and fetal damage and miscarriage.

Everyday, household electronic devices such as
Microwave Ovens, Televisions, Vacuum Cleaners
and Computers, especially Laptop Computers
(because of the close proximity to the waist and
body that these devices are typically used.) are
 very strong sources of Electromagnetic Radiation.
Faulty home wiring as well as high voltage lines
are also strong sources of Electromagnetic
Radiation.

Our 100% Stainless steel fabric is thin and flexible
 enough to be sewn between layers of traditional
 fiber fabric, it is machine washable without special
handling and is hypoallergenic.

However, it is suggested that the fabric be initially
hand washed with hot water and regular household
dish detergent before sewing into garments, in
order to remove the slight residue of oil used
during manufacturing.

Can be sewn by hand or with most home sewing
 machines. Can be cut with utility knife or sharp
 pair of fabric shears or scissors; blades may
require re-sharpening after cutting this material
 unless they are Titanium coated. Not approved for
food service use. Made in the USA.

 Cut to order in One Yard increments. No refunds
after order is cut. One Yard = 48" wide X 36" long
(Approximately)

Note: All fabrics are sold in continuous lengths unless
  noted otherwise. For Example: if you order 5 yards of a 
fabric  You WILL receive ONE piece of fabric Five yards 
long  NOT 5 pieces of fabric 1 yard long.
