In the high- tech San Francisco Bay Area is a company that is the epitome of industrial innovation. Created in 1995, the Eeonyx Corporation, offers an advanced product line-up including textiles, foams, felts and powders that each offer specifiable degrees of conductivity. The company's innovative offerings have been applied cross a broad range of industries.
From military applications, within static-controlled clean rooms, and for antennas; to applications for traditional commercial clientele, Eeonyx products are held in high regard for their flexibility of usage. Indeed, company engineers are constantly discovering applications for these superb products. Eeonyx's proprietary, conductive coating technology forms the core element of their extensive array of products. Their current product catalogue includes Eeonomer composites [? ], EeonTex textiles, EeonFoam lossy foams, EeonFelt broadband absorbing felts, EeonStat fabric for clean room garments, and EeonYarn electro-conductive yarns.

EeonFoams are open cell polyurethane conductive foams with polymer coatings. These conductive foams are perfect for application in a number of different industrial environments regarding damping cavity resonances, EMI suppression and static dissipation. In terms of static dissipation, EeonFoams have become prevalent within tightly controlled industrial application areas, where the risk of build-up from static charge can potentially have catastrophic consequences.
In addition to their conductive foams, the Eeonyx Corporation has developed piezoresistive [pressure sensing ] fabric that is now being utilized to transform traditional operating practices across a plethora of industries. EeonTex fabric consists of a simple, thin fabric layer, which can conform to the often-complex 3D surfaces required for certain applications. Another additional benefit to fabric pressure sensors by Eenonyx is that they are highly cost effective and have been proven reliable in a number of extreme environments. They also offer high levels of resistance to conditions commonly encountered in industrial environments, such as mechanical abrasion, humidity, high temperature, and UV radiation. The difference between these particular fabric pressure sensors and traditional products is that they don't simply surround the sensor; they ARE the sensor. When a physical object touches the EeonTex fabric, the pattern is altered, sending precise, actionable data to the connected hardware concerning factors such as velocity, size and dynamic movement of the pressure.
The uses for these fabric pressure sensors are nearly endless. For example, a piano teacher has taken advantage of the fabric pressure sensors to enhance her students' lessons. Her students wear specially designed gloves, created from EeonTex fabric, that relay data to her via a computer screen about the student's piano playing. She can then use this information to tailor a training program to suit her student's musical abilities.
Tech firm, RSscan, a Belgian company, came to Eeonyx searching for a solution to their problem with their foot scanners, used in the sports industry. The foot scanners were too sensitive to heat and humidity, too slow for accurate readings, and became unreliable under certain conditions. The team at Eeoynx quickly went to work to devise the perfect product. Eeonyx developed a new fabric coating for the company's pressure sensors that improved the product's service life and response time in conditions of varying heat and humidity. RSscan was delighted with the product, which can be scanned 500 times per second, produce the most reliable results, and allow the team to access dynamic data provided for actionable diagnostics. Similarly, within a healthcare environment, these fabrics play a critical preventative role in detecting "hot spots" when patients are bed-ridden, so that nurses can stop a patient from developing bedsores.
Eeonyx is now ideally positioned within the electro-conductive materials marketplace as a leading provider of specialty engineered innovative products to suit their client's unique requirements.
