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.
