Product Information
Continuous Tow
PYRON® continuous tow fibers are oxidized / stabilized PAN fibers (OPAN) that are inherently fire resistant, thermally stable, exhibit excellent resistance to chemicals and solvents and are electrically nonconductive. Available crimped or uncrimped, PYRON® continuous tow is suitable for stretch breaking into yarn, milling into pulp, chopping into short fibers or crimping & cutting into staple fibers for nonwoven or yarn spinning.

Fabrics
All fabrics are produced from 100% PYRON® yarn. They have a high LOI%, good strength properties, an acceptance of adhesives for lamination, and a proficiency in cut & sew applications. The knit fabric has superior performance as a base layer apparel in high TPP factor required applications. The leno weave scrim is useful for additional strength without the sacrifice of flame resistant performance.

Felts *
Zoltek’s needlepunched felt is produced from PYRON® oxidized PAN fibers. It acts as a superior thermal, fire, and spark barrier, and can be blended with other strengthening fibers such as aramids. It is often used for thermal / acoustical insulation in aerospace, as a fireproofing barrier in automotive, or as a heat and fire-resistant barrier for a variety of other high-temperature industrial applications.
