LS Photon is a unique pultruded UHMWPE/Vectran solid rod, which is covered with an aramid fiber and UV resistant urethane coating.  The process starts with sling winding the uni-directional fibers using our state-of-the-art custom winding machine.  The fibers are then passed through three consolidation dies, which fuse the filaments into a single solid rod.  This rod, is then covered with four layers of black Technora which is used specifically for its resistance to high speed/heat abrasion, which can be caused from a sheet passing over the cable at high speed. The final process to complete the cable is to bond the aluminum/titanium ends onto the cable and apply a UV resistant urethane coating.
