Galvorn® 1000 Fiber Tow
Mechanical Properties
The cross-sectional area of this fiber is elliptical in shape so the diameter has a relatively large spread. However, the actual cross-sectional area of the fiber is uniform across the length of the fiber. Also, as it is a an advanced carbon material, Galvorn carbon nanotube fiber does not burn or melt.
All listed Galvorn fiber and yarn properties were measured at 21 ± 2°C and 50 ± 10% relative humidity.

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."
