Finishing Options

Vectran® fiber is available with three sizing options.

T-97

A silicone oil finish applied at a level of ~5.0% Oil-on-Yarn to optimize fiber-to-fiber abrasion resistance. Used for dynamic applications primarily in the cordage and cable industries.

T-117

An olefinic finish applied at a level of ~1.5% Oil-on-Yarn for improved fiber-to-fiber abrasion resistance without the use of silicone.

T-150

A weaving finish applied at a level of ~0.5% Oil-on-Yarn to assist processing (e.g.: rewinding, twisting, braiding, weaving), which can be easily scoured off.
