An aromatic bark and oil obtained from the ''Cinnamomum cassia'' tree, native to China and southeast Asia. Cassia bark contains from 1 to 2 percent volatile oil, the principal component of which is cinnamic aldehyde. Small amounts of cassia oil were sometimes added to varnishes and resin as a plasticizer. Cassia oil is used as a cinnamon flavoring in candy, chocolates, and liqueurs. In classical times, oils with similar spicy smells from the African camphor tree (''Ocotea usumarensis'') native to east Africa were used in ancient Egypt (Serpico and White 2000).

Description

[Kuraray (originally Celanese)] A registered trademark for fibers melt spun from liquid crystal polymers. Vectran® fibers have excellent resistant to creep, abrasion, moisture and chemicals. For the same weight, they are ten times stronger than aluminum and five times stronger than steel. The thermoplastic fibers are used for ropes, cables and electronics. Vectran® fibers are also used to make gloves and vests that are resistant to cuts, punctures and chemicals.

Synonyms and Related Terms

liquid crystal polymer fiber; LCP fiber

Risks

  • Fibers can fray, entangle and/or acquire dirt
  • Low resistance to UV degradation

Physical and Chemical Properties

Resistant to organic solvents.

For Vectran® HS:

  • Tensile strength = 23 g/denier
  • Moisture regain = 0.1%
  • Melting Point = 330 C (stength loss from 220C)
  • Density = 1.4 g/ml
