LYOFIL®
Lyofil® features a number of properties that set it apart from conventional wire.
Lyofil® exhibits the strength, flexibility, and feel of Toyobo’s PBO fiber Zylon® within outer conductive metallizations. Lyofil® can be used for braided shielding, as a bare wire, or can be coated with an insulated material. In the aerospace & defense industries, over-braids created with Lyofil® exhibit performance measures unmatched by standard nickel-copper braids.
- Light-weight: Switching to Lyofil® Fiber braided shielding can result in weight savings of up to 87%.
- Flexible: Lyofil® Fiber behaves as a thread or yarn. It is a leading choice for applications where ease of movement and flexibility are critical.
- Strong: Tensile strength of Lyofil® is 7 times stronger than steel.
- Durable: Lyofil’s PBO fiber core results in superior performance in high vibration, high stress applications.
- Compatible: Lyofil® Fiber is fully compatible with standard braiding equipment. Shielding made with Lyofil can be terminated by soldering or band connectors.
- Shielding Performance: The textile-nature of Lyofil®contributes to an extremely effective, uniform coverage for enhanced shielding performance.
