In modern textile decoration, it's not just about looks anymore. As technology advances, the demand for textiles that are both attractive and functional is growing.
From Smart Clothing to EMS Suits and Medical Textiles
Conductive textiles are used in many areas—from smart clothing and EMS suits to medical textiles. But how can heat transfers, which were traditionally only decorative, meet these new needs?
Conductivity in Heat Transfers: More Than Just Design
Our innovative solutions, 3D SILICONE | CONDUCTIVE and ECOBLOCK BLACK | CONDUCTIVE, allow you to use electrically conductive transfers without compromising on design or durability. In this blog, we explain why conductivity in textiles is important and how our transfers help achieve it.
Why is Conductivity in Textiles Important?
Conductivity means that electricity can flow through the material. This allows electronic components to be built directly into the fabric without extra wires. This technology is used in many fields:
- Smart Clothing: Clothes that track data like heart rate or temperature and send it to mobile devices.
- EMS Suits: Suits that send electrical impulses to muscles, making workouts more effective.
- Medical Textiles: Clothing that monitors vital signs and sends the wearer’s health data in real-time.
- Smart Workwear: Clothes that improve safety in dangerous workplaces by monitoring the wearer’s condition.
- Touchscreen-compatible gloves: Gloves with conductive zones, enabling touchscreen use without removing the gloves.
Conductive Heat Transfers: Innovation Meets Functionality
Until now, heat transfers were mostly used for logos. But now, our 3D SILICONE | CONDUCTIVE and ECOBLOCK BLACK | CONDUCTIVE transfers offer solutions that not only look good but also have important functions.
3D SILICONE | CONDUCTIVE
Our 3D SILICONE | CONDUCTIVE transfers combine conductivity with a 3D design. They are perfect for applications where both design and function are needed:
- EMS Suits: Our transfers send electrical impulses directly to the muscles while maintaining a modern design.
- Smart Clothing: These transfers can be used as contact points or conductive paths for electronic components like sensors.
- Medical Textiles: The transfers connect medical sensors to clothing, making it easy to monitor vital signs.
ECOBLOCK BLACK | CONDUCTIVE
With ECOBLOCK BLACK | CONDUCTIVE, we offer a flat, conductive PU screen-print transfer. It is ideal for situations where a simple, discreet look is preferred. These flat transfers are perfect for Touchscreen-Compatible Gloves. ECOBLOCK BLACK | CONDUCTIVE allows you to use touchscreens without removing your gloves.
How is Conductivity Integrated into Heat Transfers?
Conductivity is added to heat transfers by using special materials that can carry electricity, like metallic or conductive inks. These materials are built into the transfer, allowing it to carry electricity through the fabric and connect with electronic components.
3D SILICONE | CONDUCTIVE: Conductive 3D Design
Our 3D SILICONE | CONDUCTIVE transfers feature a raised 3D design that is also conductive. The silicone material is mixed with conductive elements, making it both attractive and able to carry electricity.
ECOBLOCK BLACK | CONDUCTIVE: Flat, Conductive Solution
The ECOBLOCK BLACK | CONDUCTIVE transfers use a flat, conductive PU screen printing technique. This method uses conductive inks, allowing for discreet but powerful connections for smart textiles.
Thanks to these innovative methods, our conductive heat transfers offer the perfect combination of functionality and design.
Conclusion: Combining Design and Function
With 3D SILICONE | CONDUCTIVE and ECOBLOCK BLACK | CONDUCTIVE, we offer the next step in textile decoration. These technologies combine design and function in textiles, allowing you to create smart and functional clothing without sacrificing aesthetics. The demand for smart clothing will continue to grow—be ready and use our innovative solutions.
