EMF Shielding prevention is best done using LINQSTAT VCF-40036S/2. The texture of the material is of plastic, and you can imagine that plastics are used in the construction industry as a moisture barrier, so it will have no serious effect on warmth within the house. The conductive plastic significantly reduces EMF radiation, but the only accurate way of measuring how much reduction is to measure it.

I’m interested in Linqstat EMF shielding for walls and ceiling for my bedroom, but will the room get too hot to sleep since its blocking RF and EMF ? Do you have to cover the floor as well? Is the percentage 99.9%? does this include the radiation as well? thanks!

Yes, many companies use the LINQSTAT material to design pressure sensors. Used on a bed, the LINQSTAT could sense whether there is pressure on the bed. It would not necessarily detect that it is a human, but that there is pressure.

I am going to use the velostat to be our sensor on the bed. Is it suitable to put under sheet to test whether human is on bed?

As you can imagine, CAPLINQ receives many, many requests for "free samples". The manual entries, paperwork and ultimately costs that resulted from working outside our current workflow system (ensuring correct ship-to addresses, price quotes, samples lists, follow-up, etc.) was not in line with the low-cost model that we try to bring to our customers. As such, we have done away with minimum order quantities and implemented a way to order single units instead of shipping free samples. For the LINQSTAT, we offer 4mil (VCF-40054V/m) and 8mil (VCF-80036S/m) for sale by the meter for your convenience.

hello..i require linqstat to make my own pressure sensors….is there any way in which i can procure the material on a very small scale?…are there any samples available?..

please reply soon…

The LINQSTAT material has the same characteristics as the Velostat material – namely a carbon-loaded polyethylene with volume conductive properties. These properties eliminate the ESD static charge build-up and are used extensively in ordnance and explosives industries. The LINQSTAT material is not coated with any contaminants and to the layman would look and feel like a thick plastic sheeting.

If you are used to getting parts “wrapped” in the LINQSTAT, the VCF-4xxxx-T-Series are tubing that might be best suited for your application.

I am interested in this Linqstat material. We have parts that come to us wrapped in Velostat. We have had problems with static electricity buildup and ESD on these parts. We work with explosives and this is a very undesirable situation. Does the Linqstat eliminate static buildup and ESD? Also, is the Linqstat coated with anything that might contaminate the parts?

But I thought that the faraday cage was very ineffective.

Oh yea, and i heard that velostat/linqstat scrambles microwave signals, not block them.

Cris – Yes it will. The carbon-charged plastic is volume-conductive making it act like a Faraday cage. This acts as an electric shield and prevents Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and is a Radio-Frequency (RF) radiation blocker.
