Our Technology – Ultimate EMF Protection

At DefenderShield®, we are proud to offer the most advanced and effective range of EMF shielding technology in the world. Our mission is simple: to provide functional, science-backed protection that allows you to safely enjoy modern technology without unnecessary exposure to electromagnetic radiation.

Every DefenderShield product is engineered with specifically-chosen shielding substrates that block different ranges of electromagnetic frequencies emitted by electronic devices. These frequencies fall into two primary categories: Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) radiation and Radio Frequency (RF) radiation.

Understanding EMF Radiation

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) exist across a wide range of frequencies. Different technologies — from your home power lines to your cell phone — emit different parts of this spectrum.

  • Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Radiation

    Range: 60 Hz to 300 Hz

    ELF radiation emits from anything that uses AC or DC current: electricity, household wiring, appliances, power lines, and internal electrical components of your devices. ELF waves are very low in frequency.

  • Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation

    Range: 10 kHz to 300 GHz+

    RF radiation includes all wireless communication signals: WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular networks, and radio transmissions. It’s what allows your devices to send and receive data wirelessly.

  • 5G Radio Frequency Radiation

    Low / Mid Band: 600 Hz – 6 GHz
    High Band / mmWave:     10 GHz – 100 GHz

    5G is on the RF spectrum, but uses higher millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies (above 10 GHz) that are seen in select urban networks and specialized fixed wireless systems. Only 5G-enabled devices can connect to these frequencies.

Our Different Types of EMF Shielding:

At DefenderShield, our mission is to create the most advanced and trusted EMF protection in the world. Founded by a telecom engineer and executive, we are grounded in science and engineered to replace products and device accessories you already use for seamless functionality.

Our 3rd party, lab-tested shielding technology acts as a barrier between your body and your EMF-emitting device. Think of it as the lead bib you place over important organs that are close to the X-ray machine during a visit to the radiologist. 

Most of our products are not designed to fully cover your device in shielding, since that would interrupt communication (use Faraday Bags to truly go off-the-grid). By placing our proprietary shielding materials only on one side of the device, the side facing your body, we help block electromagnetic emissions to dramatically reduce your direct localized exposure. You can still use your device as usual with no interference, but with the peace of mind knowing your direct body contact with EMF radiation is mitigated.

DefenderShield EMF blocking products feature our lab-tested top-of-the-line shielding technologies, each designed for specific types of electromagnetic frequencies and product applications.

Here’s how each category of DefenderShield shielding are different and what products they are used in.

Maximum Protection for ELF + RF Frequencies


Our Ultra Armor+® shielding is DefenderShield’s most powerful and advanced technology — a custom-developed metal and alloy-based integrated substrate that blocks up to 99% of both Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) and Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation.

Ultra Armor+ is engineered to reach higher frequencies than other shielding technologies, providing full-spectrum protection that includes all 5G frequencies and beyond, up to 2.5 THz.

This dense sheet of shielding is ideal for hard-sided cases where superior structure and the highest level of shielding performance are needed.

Blocks: Up to 99% of ELF (60 Hz - 300 Hz) + RF (3 MHz - 2.5 THz)
Performance: Maximum Protection
Flexibility: Rigid Paper-like
Best Application: Everyday use of your phone, laptop, or tablet close by or on your body. Perfect if you use your laptop directly on your lap, or if you talk with your phone by your head or store it in your pocket (or bra straps and waist bands!) for a few hours or more each day.

Advanced, Flexible RF Protection for Soft-Sided Applications


Our Ultra Armor® shielding is a custom-created, high-performance variant of our Ultra Armor+ material — designed for more flexibility while maintaining industry-leading RF protection.

It blocks up to 99% of all wireless frequencies, including 5G, and like Ultra Armor+, it reaches higher frequencies than other shielding brands to block future cellular networks.

Though it doesn’t shield against ELF frequencies emitted by battery-powered or plug-in electronic devices, it provides powerful, full-range RF defense in a form that can be used in more flexible applications.

This makes Ultra Armor ideal for soft-sided accessories, including our Faraday bags.

Blocks: Up to 99% of RF (3 MHz - 2.5 THz)
Performance: Advanced Protection
Flexibility: Semi-Flexible
Best Application: Best for when you don’t want to use a permanent EMF-blocking case for your device, but would still like protection when occasionally keeping your devices close by or on your body. Can be used with a range of small wireless devices for more versatility, and can store other accessories. Alternatively, when you wish to shield devices fully in a Faraday bag to block wireless RF hacking and EMP attacks, when your device is not in use in a public place or during travel.

Lightweight, Fabric-Integrated Protection


Our Advanced RF Wireless Shielding powers all DefenderShield® clothing and wearable products. It includes a variety of lightweight, flexible shielding fabrics designed to block RF (radio frequency) radiation — the same type emitted by cell phones, WiFi routers, and Bluetooth devices — up to 40 GHz, which includes low and mid-band 5G signals.

It provides excellent protection across virtually all everyday wireless communications.

Its soft and stretchable nature allows it to be interwoven directly into fabrics (as in our gloves and scarves) or layered beneath stretchy materials (as in our blankets, beanies, jackets, and belly bands).

Used in:

  • DefenderShield® Blankets
  • DefenderShield® Beanies and Hats
  • DefenderShield® Belly Band
  • DefenderShield® Gloves
  • DefenderShield® Scarves
  • DefenderShield® Jackets and Shorts
  • DefenderShield® Sleep Mask

Blocks: Up to 99% of RF (12 MHz - 40 GHz)
Performance: Versatile Everyday Wireless Protection
Flexibility: Maximum + stretch
Best Application: Wearable protection from your WiFi router, cellular signals, hotspot, and even low to mid-band 5G signals. Protects your body instead of a specific device, so can be more versatile for blocking multiple sources of EMF. Great for traveling in EMF-dense public places like airports, malls, coffee shops.
