Vectran Filament Yarn Features

Excellent Fatigue Resistance

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.

110 dtex	100D	HT / UM / NT*	Multifilament	Fine fabrics, braiding, technical thread	Good for fine textile and braiding applications
220 dtex	200D	HT / UM	Multifilament	Technical fabrics, precision braiding, reinforcement	A fine yarn option for lightweight technical structures
280 dtex	250D	HT / UM	Multifilament	Technical textiles, braiding, specialty cordage	Suitable for fine-to-medium reinforcement structures
560 dtex	500D	HT / UM	Multifilament	Industrial fabrics, cable reinforcement, composites	A versatile mid-range yarn for textile and reinforcement use
1110 dtex	1000D	HT / UM	Multifilament	Ropes, cables, woven fabrics, composites	General-purpose industrial yarn for weaving, braiding and reinforcement
1670 dtex	1500D	HT / UM	Multifilament	High-performance ropes, webbing, FRP, industrial fabrics	Suitable for higher-load textile and structural applications
3300 dtex	3000D	HT / UM	Multifilament	Heavy ropes, cable strength members, structural reinforcement	For higher load-bearing and heavier reinforcement structures
5000 dtex	4500D	HT / UM	Multifilament	Heavy-duty rope, industrial reinforcement	Suitable for heavy-duty cordage and structural applications
8300 dtex	7500D	HT / UM	Multifilament	Heavy ropes, slings, large tension members	Intended for very high-load and heavy-duty applications
Customized	—	Application Based	Twisted / Untwisted / Custom Package	Special ropes, textiles, cables and composites	Final yarn configuration depends on downstream processing and performance requirements

* Grade availability may vary by yarn count. Final grade and specification should be confirmed according to application requirements.

Choosing the Right Vectran® Grade

Grade	Performance Focus	Recommended For
HT – High Tenacity	Higher tensile strength with balanced modulus and elongation	Ropes, slings, cordage, industrial fabrics, cables and reinforcement
UM – High Modulus	Higher stiffness and lower elongation	Precision tension members, dimensional-stable cables, structural components and composites
Customized / Other Grade	Application-specific performance	Special textile, cable or composite development

Choose HT when maximum tensile strength is the main requirement. Choose UM when low elongation and higher stiffness are more important.
Vectran® vs Other High-Performance Fibers

Property	Vectran®	Para-Aramid	UHMWPE
Fiber Family	LCP	Aromatic Polyamide	Polyethylene
Density	Approx. 1.40 g/cm³	Approx. 1.44 g/cm³	Approx. 0.97 g/cm³
Tensile Performance	High	High	Very High
Modulus	High	High	High
Creep Resistance	Excellent	Good	More application dependent
Moisture Absorption	Very Low	Higher	Very Low
Dimensional Stability	Excellent	Good	Application dependent
High-Temperature Capability	Good	Excellent	Limited
Typical Strength	Rope / Cable / Structural Textile	Heat / Protection / Reinforcement	Ultra-lightweight Rope / Protection

There is no single “best” high-performance fiber. The right material depends on the balance between load, temperature, creep, weight, moisture exposure and processing requirements.

Why choose SHENGHE as your Vectran® filament supplier?

Application-Based Selection

Application-Based SelectionAt Shenghe, we usually start with your application rather than simply matching a yarn count from a catalog. Tell us how the yarn will be used, and we’ll help narrow down the options based on the actual performance and processing requirements.

Flexible Yarn Configuration

Different weaving, braiding and reinforcement processes require different yarn setups. We can discuss yarn count, twist level, package form and other processing details with you, so the yarn fits your production process more smoothly.

Experience with High-Performance Fibers

We work with aramid, carbon fiber, PBO and other technical fibers on a regular basis. This gives us a practical understanding of how different high-performance fibers behave in real industrial applications—not just what is written on a datasheet.

Samples & Technical Support

If you want to test the material first, we can provide samples and available technical data for evaluation. You can check the yarn in your own process before moving forward with production orders.

FAQ-Vectran® filament

What is Vectran® fiber?
