X-Lon

Capitol Vacuum is proud to be able to offer the best vane material anywhere, for almost any application. Developed by our engineers in conjunction with a manufacturer of high tech composite materials, X-Lon is stronger than other materials, has superior temperature and moisture resistance, and is self-lubricating.

Ten Reasons to Use Capitol Vacuum's X-Lon™ Vanes in Every Rebuild

1. X-Lon vanes are impervious to moisture - they won't swell even when submerged in water.
2. X-Lon vanes are non-abrasive. Because they are reinforced with carbon, they won't scratch or abrade the inner stator surfaces like fiberglass reinforced materials, and they seat almost immediately.
3. X-Lon vanes are unaffected by gamma or neutron radiation.
4. X-Lon vanes are tough - with tensile strength more than double that of G11, you can count on X-Lon vanes to perform under the most stressful conditions.
5. X-Lon vanes can operate at very high temperatures - up to 500°F, at least 150° higher than other vane materials.
6. X-Lon vanes fit. Manufactured to precise tolerances in our facility, each and every vane must pass 4 separate inspections before it is accepted into our inventory.
7. X-Lon vanes resist attack by most chemicals. The special polymer used to make X-Lon is impervious to all common solvents, acids, caustics, oils, and most gases.
8. X-Lon vanes are available from stock every day. We manufacture the vanes in our own facility to insure we always have sufficient stock in inventory for same day shipment.
9. X-Lon vanes are virtually unbreakable. The extremely high flex strength of X-Lon means no broken vanes to jam and damage the rotor or stator.
10. X-Lon vanes do not expand. Due to the nature of the carbon fiber reinforcement, our vanes have the lowest thermal expansion rates of any vane material currently in use.

If you want a rebuild that delivers peak performance and durability the first time and every time, choose X-Lon vanes.
