Performance Fibers manufactures industrial fibers – a classification that relates to performance uses that are beyond the demands of ordinary apparel or home furnishings. In general, industrial fibers are strong and tough. They have high tenacity and breaking strength, abrasion resistance and stiffness, all of which add up to “performance” on the job, in the field or on the front lines.

Our products are employed in a wide range of industrial, military and consumer applications, such as tire cord, safety belts, high-pressure hoses, power belts, marine and industrial ropes, nets and slings.
