Hi all,

My first post, so kind of excited! I'm looking for an electrically non-conductive fabric, or material that can be spun into a fabric. I'm looking to hold back 400-500V. Ideally thin, and highly pliable. A fabric coating may also work. Any and all thoughts and insights are sincerely appreciated.

Thanks!

Mat

Thanks for the search terms. But I'm really hoping for something highly pliable with the ability to resist 400-500V. Any specific direction would be great!
