by Greg Hill ( Toyobo )

It's heavy reading but this is Why Gosen fishing braid is so good! it's made from SK71 Izanas fibre

Extremely High Strength and High Modulus

IZANAS_™ has the highest level of tensile strength among commercialised organic fibers.

Ultra-High Strength
and High Modulus

IZANAS_™ SK60 has the highest level value of the specific strength and modulus among commercialised organic fibers. Specifically, the brand-new IZANAS_™ SK71 achieves a strength of 40cN/dtex or more.(c.a.4GPa)

Light Weight(low specific gravity)

The specific gravity of IZANAS_™ SK60 is 0.97, which is the lowest value among super fibers and is lighter than water.

High Impact Strength

IZANAS_™ SK60 has an extremely high impact strength. Due to its very high energy absorption characteristics, IZANAS_™ SK60 is a suitable material for protective applications or sport composites applications.

High Durability

IZANAS_™ SK60 exhibits excellent flexibility and excellent abrasion resistance. Easy fabrication offers various textile applications.

Good Abrasion Resistance and Fatigue resistance

IZANAS_™ has excellent abrasion and fatigue resistance. Due to its ability to be processed easily. (weaving, knitting etc.), this leads to wide applications for industrial use.

High Light Stability and Chemical Resistance

With no degradation due to water absorption, IZANAS_™ SK60 is the ideal material for ropes or nets used in marine and off-shore applications. IZANAS_™ SK60 has excellent light stability and chemical resistance in a wide pH range.

Good Light Stability

IZANAS_™ shows good light stability due to its chemical and highly crystallized structure. IZANAS_™ can be used without special covering or coatings.

Excellent Chamical Stability

IZANAS_™ shows excellent chemical stability in a wide pH range, which prompts the application for chemical industries. Because there is no degradation from sea water absorption, IZANAS_™ is an ideal material for marine and off-shore use.

Excellent Chemical Stability (treat with 23 × 2000 hrs)

Negative expansion

IZANAS_™ has a feature that it expands by lowering the temperature. IZANAS_™ is an ideal material for cryogenic use that controls the dimension change of composites which is used under the room temperature and extremely low temperture.

Negative expansibility (in direction of fiber)

Plastic（FRP）reinforced with the following fibers

High heat conductivity

High strangth polyethylene fiber (IZANAS<sub>™</sub>)

Electric characteristic

High strangth polyethylene fiber (IZANAS<sub>™</sub>) reinforced plastic.

Other Characteristics

Vibration damping: IZANAS_™ has excellent vibration damping characteristics.

Insulation: Fundamentally a form of polyethylene, IZANAS_™ possesses the same chemical properties, making it an outstanding insulator.
Environment: As indicated by its chemical formula -(CH2-CH2)n- IZANAS_™ is formed from carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). Consequently, even if IZANAS_™ is burned all that remains is water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and no harmful substances are released.
