Design Wearable Sensors Beyond the Limits of Metal

Lightweight electrically conductive materials for flexible and reliable wearable technologies.

Our electrically conductive compounds help overcome the limitations of traditional conductive materials by enabling lightweight, flexible, and durable wearable sensor solutions.

Why Traditional Materials Limit Wearable Innovation

In wearable applications, performance depends on more than electronics. The material also affects how the sensor fits, moves, touches the skin, and maintains stable electrical performance during use.

Traditional materials can create design challenges:

  • Rigid structures may reduce comfort and wearability
  • Poor flexibility can affect signal quality during movement
  • Metal components can add weight, complexity, and assembly steps
  • Limited material options can slow down new product development
  • Skin-contact applications require materials that support both usability and performance

The result can be a compromise between technical performance and user experience.

Flexible Electrically Conductive Materials for Next-Generation Sensors

Our electrically conductive compounds enable a new approach to wearable design:
    ✔ Replace metal with lightweight electrically  conductive polymers
    ✔ Create flexible, body-conforming sensor structures
    ✔ Maintain stable electrical performance
    ✔ Simplify manufacturing with injection-moldable materials

Flexible Wearables (TPU):
  • Designed for elastic, skin-contact applications
  • Ideal for heart rate belts, patches, smart textiles
  • Combines electrical conductivity, flexibility, and comfort
Rigid Components (PP):
  • For electrodes, housings, grounding
  • Stable and consistent electrical conductivity
  • Suitable for high-volume production
