Strength Beyond Steel

Pound for pound, VECTRAN™ is five times stronger than steel and ten times stronger than aluminum. Using liquid crystal polymer (LCP) technology, VECTRAN™ achieves excellent tensile properties such as high strength and modulus. Kuraray acquired VECTRAN™ from Celanese in 2005, and continues to produce this unique fiber in Saijo, Japan, South Carolina, and in Fort Mill.


Behind every innovation is a team driven by curiosity, dedication, and a passion for pushing boundaries. At VECTRAN™, we believe that our people and our purpose are just as important as our products. Discover the ideas and vision that shape who we are
