Is the conductive thread non toxic?

Safe to wear up against your skin for extended periods of time?

Best Answer

I believe that the thread sold by Sparkfun is made by ShieldEx. According to the material safety data sheet for the silver-coated thread:

Eye Protection: SHIELDEX® silver coated non-woven/or/woven nylon fabric and yarns does not cause significant eye irritation or eye toxicity requiring special protection. Use good industrial practice to avoid eye contact.

Skin Protection: SHIELDEX® silver-coated non-woven/or/woven nylon fabric and yarns does not present a significant skin concern requiring special protection.
