VersaFil

Innovative versatility

Perlon® has introduced a breakthrough monofilament and is now presenting VersaFil, an innovative product made from a new type of polymer. VersaFil offers an extremely versatile property profile that is unrivalled to date.
VersaFil opens up new application possibilities by combining a variety of positive properties that were previously unavailable in a monofilament. VersaFil represents a significant advance for Perlon® in a number of areas of application.

  • Versatile mechanical properties: an inherent softness combinded with high tenacities
  • Outstanding impact resistance – no splitting or fibrillation neither in lab tests (hammer beat test) nor in field tests facing high pressure shower cleaning
  • Very good hydrolysis resistance – even better than PET with maximum stabilization (or even PCTA)
  • Reduced surface adhesion versus common polymer materials and therefore a potentially lower risk of fabric clogging or improved cleanability
