SLNT® Faraday Material (Multishield®) Third-Party Testing

No matter what you are using, say a dedicated laptop, phone, tablet or hardware wallet, you are susceptible to digital threats. SLNT® exists as the premier solution for patented Faraday cage sleeves that block wireless signals in any situation. Allowing the user to have complete security over their digital financial assets from the minute they leave their door, to when they need to access their assets.

THE RESULTS

Three reports from Keystone Compliance, an independent test lab. Each one tested a flat sample of Multishield® material.

What these results cover. Each lab report tested a flat sample of the material in a test fixture. None of them tested a finished bag with its closure and seams. The results show how the material performed under each method. They are not an automatic rating for every SLNT® product, because a finished product also depends on how it's built and closed.


A separate demonstration, not part of the lab reports above. A 750 milliwatt VHF transmitter at 160 MHz goes inside a finished SLNT® bag while a spectrum analyzer (10 kHz to 24 GHz) watches for signal. Setup details are on page 23 of the report.

MIL‐STD‐188‐125‐2

MIL-STD-188-125-2 is a military standard that outlines the criteria for testing the shielding effectiveness of electronic components and systems. This standardization assesses the capacity of electronic components and systems to safeguard against the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI). EMI can cause errors in data transmission, degrade system performance, and potentially trigger system failure.

IEEE 299-2006

The IEEE 299-2006 (1 - 40GHz) standard assesses the shielding effectiveness of materials. It provides a methodology for conducting tests evaluating the amount of electromagnetic interference (EMI) entering or leaving electronic devices. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) established this standard. It determines the protection level provided by shielding material against EMI.

Lab testing covered two frequency ranges: 10 kHz to 1 GHz for three-layer Multishield®, and 1 to 40 GHz for single-layer Multishield® samples. Every frequency in the list above falls inside one of those ranges. Each range was tested on a different sample, so check the results table for what each test found.

The results table above shows what each lab test found, by material sample and frequency range. Shielding is measured in decibels (dB). Every extra 20 dB cuts the field amplitude by another factor of 10.

Field-amplitude reduction, sample calculations:

20 dB = 10:1 reduction
40 dB = 100:1 reduction
60 dB = 1,000:1 reduction
80 dB = 10,000:1 reduction
90 dB ≈ 31,623:1 reduction
100 dB = 100,000:1 reduction

These are math examples of how dB converts to a ratio. They are not an average result or a guaranteed rating for any product.
