What is Innegra™?

Innegra™ S is an olefin based high performance yarn used most often in conjunction with a high modulus fiber to increase toughness, durability, damping, and in some cases, reduce weight.

Innegra™ H is a hybridized yarn containing Innegra and a high modulus fiber (carbon, glass, basalt, or aramid). These fibers are co-mingled at the filament level to combine the properties of both fibers in the same plane, resulting in increased performance.

By definition…Innegra™ S fiber exhibits toughness and ductility, rather

than strength and stiffness.Toughness: Durable, not easily broken or cut, capable of great endurance.

Modulus: The ratio of the stress expressed in either force per unit linear density or force per unit area of the original specimen.

Tensile Strength: Ability of a material to withstand a longitudinal stress, expressed as the greatest stress that the material can stand without breaking.

Carbon/Kevlar F1 Wing

“falling weight impact tests and the mallet tests both showed

the Innegra material to be equal to and generally superior

to the Kevlar equivalent. This was manifested both in terms of resistance to damage and

minimizing the size and quantity of debris”.

Working with Innegra™ Fiber

• Social fiber• Think hybrid-especially for first

time users• Learning curve with new material• Different products = different

recipe• Max processing temperature is

150°C/302°F• Low viscosity resins are

preferred• Increase resin content 5-8%• Volume & weight ratios• Will remain white • Will add ductility
