Hi There !
Can any one tell me if velostat is appropriate for mass production ?
I have a project in mind which has a potentially big market.
My concern is that there is not data sheet and there is no information about the life span of this product.
My other important concern is which would be the intrinsic non lineal resistance characteristic that it has in relation with the use and time .
One more question ; is there some health risk in handling it for manufacturing and end user?. I saw on internet some information that really ask me for some meditation.
What do you guys think about?
Keep in mind that I am very interested in use this product.
Thank you very much.

Re: Velostat
Velostat is a product of 3M company and if you want quantity you should contact them. It is used by Adafruit in a non standard way and is not in any way designed to do what it does for the projects here, it just happens to work as a variable resistor when compressed. If you are making a commercial product I would recommend further research.
