Exceptional Strength High-Performance Multifilament Yarn

Liberator image asset

The core polymer of Liberator®­­­, Vectran™ by Kuraray, is a high-performance Multifilament yarn spun from liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Pound for pound Vectran™ is 5 times stronger than steel and 10 times stronger than aluminum and is our lightest product.

Through Syscom’s capabilities, this exceptionally strong and durable fiber becomes the foundation of Liberator®, the remarkable properties of Vectran™ within conductive metal layers.

Liberator® High-Performance Multifilament Yarn possesses valuable qualities not only for applications using conventional wire but also for aerospace and microwave cable shielding. Its superior weight savings allows manufacturers to increase payload value on aircraft and satellite systems. Additionally, when used as a conductive wire, it is a higher strength, lower weight alternative to fragile small gauge copper signal wire.

Liberator Filament yarn

Flexible Fibers:

Liberator® displays natural textile movements while still maintaining rigid features.

Weight Savings:

Liberator® is 72% lighter than 30 AWG copper wire.

Mechanical Strength:

5 times greater break strength than 30 AWG (stranded 40/46) copper wire.

Thermal Properties:

Liberator® features very low thermal expansion.

Shielding Performance:

Cable shielding constructed with Liberator® High-Performance Multifilament Yarn rivals and even surpasses the performance of much heavier copper-based braids.

Choosing Liberator High-Performance Multifilament Yarn

LIBERATOR is a metal-clad polymer fiber with a polymer inner layer surrounded by highly conductive metal; creating a unique, highly conductive thread/yarn.

Our Liberator® conductive on its own is a powerful tool in any arsenal, but we have developed and expanded the toolset to tackle the growing needs for strength in various industries such as Aerospace and E-textiles.

We have worked with our partners over at Kuraray to develop new variations of our Liberator® fiber. We can plate a Liberator® 80 that has double the strength and performance of our Liberator® 40 material. Liberator® 80 can still be used in lightweight Multifilament Yarn to replace metal wiring with the added benefit of its strength.

We also can combine multiple tows of Liberator versions for applications with an even greater need for tensile strength and conductivity.
