Can anyone recommend an extrusion company that has the capability to extrude monofilament fibres from a Liquid Crystal Polymer material. The fibres will be less than 50 microns in diameter and I want them provided on spools. Preferrably the extrusion company would work on a project basis as I want to run a number of trials before selecting the final product. There are a number of parameters I would like to vary in these trials:
1) Would like to compound additives (colour etc) with the base polymer (vectra).
2) I would like to make the fibre in a variety of diameters between 20-50 microns
3) I would like to produce fibres with different levels of orientation.
I want the resultant fibre to be very strong in tensile as well as having good knot properties.
Thanks
