Victor Fiber Creates War Boots For Olympic Athletes

Sharp tools make good work.

It is the dream of track and field athletes to have a pair of excellent combat boots.

In this Olympic Games, many athletes wear Nike sports shoes, using the new Flywire technology, to bring the feeling of "ultimate barefoot ride" for athletes.

The perfect combination of lightweight and strength Victor fiber is the key to new Flywire technology.

Victor is a high performance multifilament fabric made of liquid crystal polymers, made by coke Lee Limited.

Under the same quality condition, the strength of this high strength filament is five times that of steel, and has the characteristics of low moisture absorption, excellent wear resistance and ultraviolet resistance.

The diameter of the multifilament Victor fiber is 1/4 of human hair. It provides air cushions and provides support for the sole of the Nike in the new type of bridge suction suspension design of the sports shoes.

Take Nike's shoes for track and field athletes as an example.

The shoes used 116 vktvon fibers, which provided air cushions for the main parts of the foot of the athlete's foot, and were able to wrap their feet tightly in the nails.

In this way, athletes can directly convert more energy into propulsion when running.

At the same time, these spikes are very light, and athletes describe shoes as second layers of skin, like the ones that grow out of their feet.

According to Robert Knudsen, marketing manager of the victor company of Collie limited, USA, "Victor fiber has unique high tensile strength, extremely low weight and high elasticity. Nike has designed the most lightweight nail shoes that it has ever had."

As early as 1980s, Victor fiber has been used as a tire cord, because it has excellent low creep, that is, it will not move or deform at a certain load, similar to the never going out guitar string, and has also been applied to sonar arrays for nuclear submarines.

After that, the technology was purchased by Japan Cola company and industrialized production in 1990s.

The fiber is also used in fishing, aviation and other industries. It is used to manufacture optical cable lines, net ropes, plastic reinforcement materials, parachute lines, speedboat shell, various sports equipment, protective gloves, floor protective materials and aviation equipment.

In the NASA Mars exploration in 1997, the air bag made of Victor fiber made the detector reduce the impact of precision instruments when landing.

The next year, the Japanese airship also used Victor's fabric.

After that, vicket fibers were also used in the puncture proof tyres, which made the bicycles lighter and handy.

It is reported that victor will expand its application in the field of Nonwovens in the future, and more new products will be landed in the market.
