Kuraray Vectran® UM 1500/300 LCP Fiber
Categories:	Other Engineering Material; Composite Fibers; Polymer; Thermoplastic; Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
Material Notes:	Vectran® is a high-performance multifilament yarn spun from liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Vectran® fiber exhibits exceptional strength and rigidity. Pound for pound Vectran® fiber is five times stronger than steel and ten times stronger than aluminum. Vectran® features: High strength and modulus Excellent creep resistance High abrasion resistance Excellent flex/fold characteristics Minimal moisture absorption Hydrolytically stable Resistance to organic solvents Stable to acids (<90% concentration) Stable to bases (<30% concentration) Low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) High dielectric strength Outstanding cut resistance Excellent property retention at high/low temperatures Outstanding vibration damping characteristics High impact resistance Property data for 1500 denier fiber. Information provided by The Kuraray Group.
