Galvorn® 800 Fiber Tow
Carbon Nanotube Fiber
**Formerly “Galvorn® C – Conductive Fiber Tow”
Ultra-Lightweight. Conductive. Highly Compatible with Traditional Textile Equipment.
Galvorn® 800 Fiber Tow has been optimized for compatibility with standard textile manufacturing equipment. With about ⅓ the strength and ¾ the conductivity of Galvorn® 1000 its properties remain superior to traditional textile conductive fibers, while its reduced tensile strength gives it the benefit of being more compatible with standard textile manufacturing equipment. On a per mass basis Galvorn® 800 is about 80% less expensive than Galvorn® 1000.
Comprised of single-filament carbon nanotube fibers, designers and engineers can have all the benefits of a high-performance conductive fiber without worrying about having to fine-tune manufacturing equipment. Whether you are developing an overbraid for EMI shielding for lightweight wire, e-textiles or smart textiles, or integrated sensors, if your application does not require the full strength of Galvorn® 1000, then Galvorn® 800 Fiber Tow has the benefit of being significantly less expensive and easier to work with in manufacturing.

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."

“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."
