Silverstat 30 denier staple fiberSILVER COATED NYLON FIBER AND YARNR.STAT has designed performance solutions for manycommon and advanced applications for its SilverSTAT -pure silver coated polyamide fibers and filaments. Silvermetal is historically known for its numerous benefits;namely conductive (silver being the most conductive naturalelement on earth), as well as for its highly anti-bacterial,anti-fungi and anti-odor properties in addition to itsthermo-reflecting properties. Thermo reflecting propertieshelp reduce heat penetration from an outside source or aidin containing the loss of heat from an emitting source.The industrial manufacturing process of SilverSTATis a unique enabling technology allowing for a permanentbond of the company’s 99.9 % metallic thin silverlayer onto polyamide (nylon) fibers. SilverSTAT is availableas cut flexible staple fiber from 1.5 - 30 denier, consistingof flexible pure silver sheath and is oftenpre-blended with other fibers, such as polyester, nylonor aramid fibers. Continuous filaments range from 20 to220 denier in size with various dpf.shielding applications known as EMI shielding havingthe ability to provide Faraday cageSTAINLESS STEEL FIBER AND YARNOther end-uses and customers require thermo-resistantconductive fibers and R.STAT developed a range ofR.STAT/S consisting of fine diameter, highly flexiblestainless steel (alloy 316L), with other alloys availableupon request. Like the silver coated nylon describedabove, stainless steel fiber and filament are available asstaple fiber, filament yarn and tow.Stainless steel fibers are used in a wide range of applications,including:• High electrical conductivity in electromagneticwww.filtnews.com • June 2013 • 41
