Higher tenacity for optical cable and rubber reinforcement. The rigid molecular structure of PPTA provides high tensile strength, dimensional stability and thermal resistance.
PF200 is a high-tenacity PPTA para-aramid continuous filament yarn for optical fiber cable and rubber reinforcement. Its rigid molecular structure provides high tensile strength, dimensional stability and thermal resistance for cable strength members, tire cord, hose and belt applications.
Tire cord, rubber hoses and belts; cable strength members and reinforcement structures where a higher breaking force per denier is required.
Limiting oxygen index (LOI) 29% · decomposition temperature above 530 °C · hot-air shrinkage ≤ 0.2% (190 °C × 15 min) · density 1.44 g/cm³. The yarn does not melt.

¹ Calculated from nominal linear density and specification tenacity, for cable design reference only — not a measured batch result. Test methods: ASTM D1907 (linear density), ASTM D7269 (tensile), ASTM D2257 (oil pick-up). Test conditioning and detailed tensile parameters follow the agreed test specification. Nominal denier values are rounded equivalents. Other yarn types or linear densities on request.
