Features
Zylon® consist of rigid rod chain molecules of poly (p-phenylene-2, 6-benzbisoxazole (PBO).
Tensile strength and modulus
Zylon® fiber has superior tensile strength and modulus to p-Aramid fiber.
Heat and flame resistance
Zylon® fiber has outstanding flame resistance and thermal stability among organic fibers.
Thermal conductivity
Zylon® fiber has excellent thermal conductivity in the fiber direction.
Applications
Taking advantage of the features of high strength, light weight, low elongation, abrasion resistance, and weather resistance, it is used in various fields.
