High Strength LCP Fiber Designed for Demanding Applications
What is Vectran Fiber?
Vectran® is a high-performance liquid crystal polymer (LCP) fiber originally developed by Kuraray. Unlike conventional synthetic fibers, Vectran® is produced from a thermotropic liquid crystal polymer structure, creating highly oriented molecular chains during processing.
This unique molecular structure gives Vectran® fiber a combination of: High tensile strength, High modulus performance, Low creep under continuous loading, Excellent fatigue resistance, Stable dimensional performance.
For engineers and manufacturers, these characteristics make Vectran® suitable for applications where maintaining strength and shape over long service periods is critical.
