Amberstrand® fiber has at its core the remarkably durable fiber, Zylon®, which is 7 times stronger than steel and twice as strong as Para-aramids such as Kevlar®. Quite simply, it is the strongest commercial fiber available today. Ideal for applications that demand superior strength at extremely high temperatures, Amberstrand® fiber exhibits excellent flame resistance and a decomposition temperature that’s 100° C higher than Kevlar-based fibers. Amberstrand® fiber is available in 66, 166, or 332 tows with nickel, copper, or silver cladding.  more

Liberator™ fiber, Syscom Advanced Material's new and novel conductive metal-clad fiber utilizing Kuraray’s Vectran™ fiber, gives freedom to design outside the constraints of traditional wires. Liberator™ fiber pairs a flexible, high-strength, Vectran® fiber core with a conductive metal outer layer. Vectran® fiber is a high-performance multifilament yarn made from liquid crystal polymers. Pound for pound, Vectran fiber is 5 times stronger than steel and 10 times stronger than aluminum. liberator has excellent thermal stability, with material property retention and reliable performance at both high and low temperatures. liberator’s chemical stability substantially outpaces Kevlar-based materials. Cut resistance is greater than 16 times that of Para-aramids like Kevlar, as well. liberator conductive fiber is available in 20, 40, and 80 filaments with nickel, copper, or silver cladding. more
