The word 'conductivity' is defined as the degree to which a specified material directs electricity, it can block and/or redirect the flow of electrical currents.  Silver metal is naturally conductive and actually holds the highest conductivity out of all metals. This is why we use 99% Silver weaving in our fabric. Silver is also a well-documented antimicrobial that has been shown to kill bacteria and fungi.      

EMF & RF levels drastically vary in spaces. To test levels in the room and the effectiveness of the garments, obtain a RF meter, these are available at a number of locations and are usually simple to operate. We prefer to use TENMARS TN-195 Meter because this meter is specifically used to indicate electromagnetic pollution generated artificially. Wherever there is a voltage or a current, electric(E) and magnetic(H) fields arise. 

For beginners, we also recommend meter Acousticom 2 RF Detector. Which has an easy to read color system to determine safe and high levels of EMF emission. Red representing greater than 8GHz (>8 billion cycles per second)  and green representing levels below .5GHz 

GARMENT TESTING PROCESS: 

1. Measure the levels of EMF in your current environment, then note the reading on the meter.

2. Put the Meter under the garment so the reader is completely covered by the garment. Give the meter 2  minutes to calibrate. Then take note of the drop in EMF levels. Please be patient and give the meter time to adjust to the silver shielding. The meter reads the average and it changes over a duration of time due to devices constantly changing EMF levels based on usage and commands.  

Technology is only speeding up and it's important that we have the proper tools to protect our long-term health. Check out our full selection of protective garments HERE. 

Silver Affect garments are Lined with fabric that shields against EMF frequencies, including 5G. Silverell® Silver Jersey Modal fabric is a soft, lightweight, knitted fabric that combines natural Modal fibers with Shieldex® Pure Silver Plated Nylon Yarn. The fabric's softness comes from the natural Modal fiber. A modal is a form of Rayon, which is made from natural plant-based materials and is completely biodegradable!

to retain optimal Conductivity while cleaning the garment. See our Blog post about "Garment Care". 

All types of radio broadcasting and TV transmitters produce electromagnetic fields, and they also arise in industry, business, and the home, where they affect us even if our sense organs perceive nothing. As wireless signals get stronger, and the services get faster, it is important to periodically check the EMF emissions in your environment!
