Silicon Yarn
Silicon Yarns with SageZander
We work with Le Mur from Italy who have pioneered the production of silicon yarn ‘muriel®’ , something which has a big future ahead of it.
Silicon Yarn is highly elastic and can stretch in excess of 900%. It is relatively unaffected by temperature up to 350 deg c. It has good biocompatibility opening up applications in healthcare/medical. It’s flame retardant properties mean that it is a great choice in workwear and FR garments. UV stability, solvent/chemical resistance and insulating properties all score well.
It has excellent environmental credentials when compared against rubber for example.

“Serving our customers with their needs at the heart of our operations.”
Mechanical Properties of Silicon Yarn
What is peculiar in tensile properties of muriel ® is the low force applied to achieve high elongation, as shown in the table below.
The presented graph shows that muriel ® reaches the same elongation with lower stress in comparison to a same dtex currently available spandex yarn. So, in comparison to all common spandex yarns, using muriel ® it is possible to attain lower compression stresses.

UV Resistance Properties
muriel ® is almost untouched from UV radiations without any ageing phenomenon occurring; its properties only change a little after a long time exposure (several years).
The mechanical test presented demonstrates that after many months of weathering exposure the properties are unchanged
Thermal Properties of Silicon Yarn
muriel ® shows very low transition temperatures, for this reason the yarn stability is provided even many degrees below zero, with a slow elasticity decrease starting from T= -40 °C.
muriel ® maintains its thermal stability up to T = 350 °C without any chemical or physical change, i.e. due to decompositions, reactions or volatiles loss.
Moreover, at T= 500 °C it loses only 15% of its weight.
muriel ® hot-air resistance assures the mechanical properties keeping even at high temperature loading.
muriel ® shows flame retardant properties and when burns it doesn’t form scalding drops but a non-toxic ash releasing non-corrosive combustion gasses.
Electrical Properties
muriel ® can exhibit insulating properties, conductive properties or high sensitivity electrical resistance variation depending on the base material and/or the post-processing treatment used
Colours of Silicon Yarn
muriel ® can be produced in a broad variety of colours, meeting all your needs or wishes.
muriel ® can be transparent, standard coloured or of a desired nuance. So it is possible to acquire a particular tone and create a customized coloured yarn
