Vectran Breaker
Vectran is a synthetically produced high-tech fibre with a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran is spun from the molten liquid polymer Vectra and processed into a multi-fibre yarn. Spider silk as well as Vectran have an enormous tear strength at lowest weight.
The resistance is proven by many applications of Vectran: Holding ropes for astronauts, spinnaker sails, submarine cables, cut-resistant clothing. Vectran can be found wherever extreme durability is required. The Vectran fibre has a tensile strength five times higher than steel, is fatigue-resistant and therefore extremely resilient. Just the right properties to be used in a Continental top tyre as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than comparable nylon breakers without negatively affecting rolling resistance.
