Product Description
MIRALON® Yarn products are carbon-based fibers that can be used in a variety of applications to lightweight and provide enhanced mechanical and electrical performance. These yarns are composed of millions of aligned filaments of structured carbon. Unlike conventional carbon fibers, the internal carbon structures transfer load by van der Waals forces, not covalent bonds. This results in yarns that are laterally flexible, fatigue, and impact resistant, but are stiff, strong, and both thermally and electrically conductive in the axial direction.
