Woven Zylon
High-performance Woven Zylon® tapes available in custom widths and weights for specialized reinforcement applications.
High-performance woven tapes manufactured from Zylon®, one of the strongest organic fibers available.
What is Woven Zylon?
Woven Zylon® is a high-strength reinforcement material produced from advanced organic fibers known for their exceptional mechanical properties. Similar to aramid fibers but offering approximately 50% greater performance in key strength characteristics, Zylon® is often selected for applications where maximum strength, durability, and lightweight construction are critical.
At Georgian Bay Fabrics, our woven Zylon® tapes are manufactured to your required widths and weights, providing tailored reinforcement solutions for specialized industrial, composite, and high-performance applications.

Exceptional Strength & Performance
Zylon® is recognized as one of the strongest commercially available organic fibers. Made from poly (p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) (PBO), it delivers significantly higher tensile strength and stiffness than p-aramid fibers while offering outstanding flame resistance, thermal stability, and thermal conductivity.
Its unique combination of high modulus and vibration damping makes it ideal for performance-driven applications, while its impact energy absorption is more than twice that of comparable p-aramid composites, providing exceptional damage tolerance.
Based on comparisons of commercially produced organic fibers as of June 2025.
