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.

EuroFibers is the distribution and innovation partner of world’s largest producers of High Performance Fibers. With our fiber enhancing services and state-of-the-art coating technology, we help our customers to improve performance and reduce system costs.

Product 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.

Product Overview

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.

EuroFibers gives no warranties and assumes no liability in respect of application, processing, use or reliance on. Any information provided by EuroFibers does not release the user from the obligation to perform its own analysis to determine the suitability of the product for the intended process or application.

EuroFibers is the distribution and innovation partner of world’s largest producers of High Performance Fibers. With our fiber enhancing services and state-of-the-art coating technology, we help our customers to improve performance and reduce system costs.

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.
