Galvorn® 1000 Twisted Yarn
Carbon Nanotube Yarn
**Formerly “Galvorn® HS – High-Strength”
Ultra-Strong. Ultra-Light. Electrically Conductive. Built for Advanced Engineering.
Galvorn® 1000 Twisted Yarn is a next-generation carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn engineered for unmatched strength-to-weight ratio, conductivity, and durability. Whether you’re developing lightweight electrical systems that face extreme environments, high-performance composites, next-gen wearables, or cutting-edge R&D concepts, Galvorn offers a combination of high-performance properties as yet unseen with other materials.
Key Benefits
- Electrically and Thermally Conductive: Offers electrical conductivity with superior heat dissipation compared to traditional metallic conductors.
- Superior Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Provides a tensile strength of 1.2 GPa while remaining 80% lighter than copper for significant mass savings.
- Ultra-Flexible & Fatigue-Resistant: Features a flex life nearly 1,000 times greater than metal wires, making it immune to vibration-induced work hardening.
- Corrosion-Proof & Chemically Stable: Resistant to oxidation, salt spray, and harsh chemical exposure.
- Made in the USA: Produced at our headquarters in Houston, Texas.

Recyclable with No Loss in Properties
Sustainable Production at Scale
Highest Performing CNT Products
"We have tested different CNT yarns and in terms of mechanical properties allowing it to withstand mechanical automation, yours are the best. The multifunctionality is key. We can monitor strength, temperature, curing and strength, and can apply heat. With one material you can do many things, this is very attractive to many companies."
A Research Institution for Aerospace
“It’s amazing. No other material can do what this material does!”
A Major Global Aerospace Company
"Many of our customers were attracted not only to the thermoelectric technology, but also to Galvorn’s unique combination of high-performance properties. We are optimistic about the road ahead with Galvorn, in this first thermoelectric application, but also beyond it. We see the broad market need for a high-performance material like Galvorn that is also good for the environment.”
Hiroki Iijima, Sales Manager at Tokai Rika
"We were able to create a miniaturized, minimally-invasive neuromodulation technology enabled by the high efficiency of charge transfer and high conductivity of Galvorn. Our design makes these types therapies far more accessible for patients living with conditions like epilepsy, depression, and chronic pain."
