Overview
Velostat/LINQSTAT is a highly conductive polyethylene film with a surface resistance of ±200 ohms/sq. This polyethylene film is composed of electrically conductive carbon and dense polymer blend, by utilising a premium polymer and advance manufacturing process, a low surface resistance is achieved. Also, It is 0.09mm (3.5 mil) thin, lightweight and relatively inert.
Here is the most amazing thing about velostat, it changes resistance when squeezed, making it ideal for creating DIY pressure sensors. Now unleash your creativity with this affordable and easy-to-use material, perfect for crafters, makers, and inventors of all levels.
More affordable than traditional pressure sensors, Velostat lets you experiment and bring your ideas to life without breaking the bank.
Velostat Application
Velostat opens doors to a world of interactive possibilities:
- DIY Force Sensors: Enhance your gaming experience with custom pressure-sensitive controls.
- Interactive Art Projects: Create touch-responsive elements for immersive art installations or light displays.
- Wearable Tech Prototypes: Design touch controls for wearables like gloves, bracelets, or even pressure-sensitive clothing.
- Educational tool for STEM learning: Introduce students to pressure sensors and basic electronics in a fun and interactive way.
