Fabrics Applications

Fabrics

The tensile properties of VECTRAN™ enable lightweight reinforcement and ultra-thin scrims and veils. Cut, slash, and abrasion resistance further improve the performance of protective textiles compared to traditional fibers.

Excellent thermal properties simplify fabric processing steps such as scouring, coating, and seaming. Fabric performance benefits from VECTRAN™ include:

Dimensional stability to maintain complex shapes
Flex/fold fatigue resistance for repeated deployments and pack/unpack cycles
Chemical resistance to withstand typical laundering processes

Key Benefits

High tensile properties
Minimal creep
Flex fatigue resistance
Thermal properties (elevated and low-T performance)

Usage Example

Protective textiles/PPE
Inflatables/flexible composites
