Vectran™ Fiber

Vectran™  LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) fiber boasts exceptional physical properties, making it a highly desirable fiber. Its break strength surpasses that of other conventional fibers, exhibiting remarkable resistance to stretching or tearing. Additionally, Vectran™  fiber demonstrates a high modulus, signifying exceptional stiffness and rigidity, which enables it to maintain its shape under stress. Vectran™ liquid crystal polymer fiber also exhibits minimal elongation, ensuring dimensional stability even in demanding applications, where maintaining precise tolerances is critical.

Vectran™  LCP fiber offers exceptional resistance to abrasion, making it ideal for applications where contact with rough surfaces or high friction is common. Its robust chemical resistance enables it to withstand exposure to various corrosive substances, expanding its versatility across different industries. Additionally, Vectran™  LCP fiber exhibits low moisture regain, making it highly resistant to moisture absorption and maintaining its mechanical properties even in humid environments.  It does however degrade and discolor in extended UV exposure.

Here at Rocket-Fibers, we take pride in supplying Vectran™  LCP fiber to industries requiring precision and reliability, from advanced robotics to thermoplastic hoses and umbilicals in the oil and gas industry. Its ability to perform under extreme stress with minimal stretching makes it a top choice for load-bearing applications like suspension systems and tethering solutions. Leveraging decades of experience, Rocket-Fibers works closely with clients to provide tailored fiber solutions that meet rigorous performance demands. With a commitment to quality and technical expertise, Rocket-Fibers makes sure every order of Vectran™ fiber meets the highest industry standards.
