Overview

UHMWPE Fiber
Dyneema®
DSM Dyneema is the inventor and manufacturer of Ultra High Molecular Weight PolyEthylene (UHMwPE) fiber branded as Dyneema®,
the world’s strongest fiber™. Dyneema® offers maximum strength combined with minimum weight. It is up to 15 times stronger than
quality steel and up to 40 percent stronger than aramid fibers, both on weight for weight basis. Dyneema® fiber floats on water and
is extremely durable and resistant to moisture, UV light and chemicals. The applications are therefore more or less unlimited.

Overview

PBO Fiber
Zylon®
PBO (Poly [p-phenylene-2, 6-benzobisoxazole]) is a rigid-rod lyotropic liquid crystal polymer developed by Japan-based Toyobo
under the trade name Zylon®. PBO is a gold fiber with an initial modulus and fiber strength that is significantly higher than other high
modulus yarns, including aramids. Zylon® almost doubles p-aramids’ tensile strength and modulus. Its unique properties compare
to very few other fibers, which makes it a valuable product in the market.

LCP Fiber
Vectran®
Vectran® is a high-performance multifilament yarn spun from liquid crystal polymer (LCP) produced by Kururay in Japan. Vectran® 
is currently the only melt spun LCP fiber in the world that is commercially available. The unique combination of characteristics of
Vectran® fibers makes it superior to many other materials and enables it to perform under conditions in which other materials fail.
Pound for pound Vectran® fiber is five times stronger than steel and ten times stronger than aluminum.

Vectran fiber is available with the following finish options: T-97, T-150 and T-117. Parameters to consider when selecting a finish include
anti-stat, lubrication, and abrasion resistance properties. The following descriptions and guidelines are intended to aid in the selection
of the optimum finish for a particular application.

• T-97: Type 97 finish is silicone-based oil, applied at a target level of 5.0 % by weight. This finish was developed to minimize
fiber-to-fiber and fiber-to-metal abrasion. It is used for dynamic applications, primarily in the cordage and cable industry. T97 is
non-conductive by design, and may cause the fiber to balloon and tangle due to static buildup. Static dissipation devices are
recommended with all Vectran products, but especially when using T97.
• T-150: Type 150 finish is a textile processing finish designed to lubricate the Vectran fiber for weaving and knitting processes.
This finish is also useful for other fiber processing steps such as rewinding, twisting and braiding. The finish is applied at a target
of 0.5 weight % and is easily scoured off with mild soap and water.
• T-117: Type 117 finish is an olefinic finish with a waxy component. It is applied at a target of 1.5 % by weight for improved abrasion
resistance without the use of silicone.
