How electromagnetic wave protection works

How the IH Safety Apron protects against electromagnetic radiation

EMS Padshields against low-frequency magnetic fields generated by induction cooking heaters (IH cookers), which conventional products had no protection against. The combination of a magnetic layer, a conductive layer, and an insulating layer diverts the energy of the low-frequency magnetic field. Furthermore, the low-frequency magnetic field is attenuated by repeatedly reflecting and absorbing it.

Magnetic field shielding requires thickness to achieve sufficient performance using magnetic material alone. Based on the theoretical formula for magnetic field shielding effect, we have developed a more efficient thin magnetic field shielding material EMS pad by multi-layering magnetic material with high magnetic permeability, conductive material with high conductivity, and insulating material.(Reference: EMS pad material performance test)

Furthermore, it is laminated, so it is stronger than the general-purpose version.

Magnetic field shielding performance of EMS pads (material value)

The electromagnetic shielding graph below shows the measurement of "shielding magnetic field strength" at frequencies from 30Hz to 100KHz. The light red area shows the strongest frequency band generated by induction cooking heaters (IH cookers). EMS pads shield low-frequency magnetic fields generated by induction cookers and other appliances, which conventional products had no protection against.
