Our product portfolio Para-aramid: Twaron Sulfron Technora Meta-aramid: Teijinconex
Twaron, a unique combination of properties High strength Weight for weight, it s five times stronger than Steel High modulus High dimensional stability Excellent heat, cut and chemical resistance No melting point Low flammability Non-conductivity
Finishing adds functionality For example: Waterblocking for optical fiber cables Adhesion activating finish for rubber applications Wax for ropes
Technora, for enhanced properties High tensile strength Weight for weight, Technora is eight times stronger than steel and three times stronger than fiberglass, polyester or nylon yarns. Good fatigue resistance Long-term dimensional stability Excellent resistance to corrosion, heat, chemicals and seawater
Conversion to fit application requirements Twaron Technora Chopped fibers Chopped fiber Pulp Staple fiber Fabrics
Teijinconex, meeting heat-resistance requirements Excellent resistance to long-term heat exposure Heat-insulation as well as high flame resistance It s self-lubricating and has good abrasion resistance It s strong, light and soft It doesn t adhere to human skin
Sulfron, a revolution in rubber compounds Sulfron is a modified aramid-based rubber ingredient which brings the following benefits: Reduced heat build-up Reduced frictional energy Improved durability Reduced hysteresis Reduced rolling resistance Improved cut, chip, chunk resistance
Applications examples
Creating durable tires Reinforcements with Twaron and Sulfron: Low weight Low rolling resistance High thermal stability High uniformity Reduced fuel consumption Improved comfort, safety and longevity
Taking the heat in a brake Brake pads and linings with Twaron pulp: Heat resistance Noise reduction Wear reduction Anti juddering
Increased lifetime of automotive & industrial hoses With Twaron yarn: High bursting pressure Flexible Dimensional stability Low weight Increased lifetime Maintenance free Aramid is used in other hoses: oil and gas
Taking the heat for firemen With Twaron, Technora and TeijinConex: Inherent flame resistance Heat insulation Dimensional stability Does not burn, melt, or adhere to human skin Strong, light, durable and comfortable Twaron, Teijinconex and Technora are used in many other places where protection from heat is required
Longer lasting transmission belts With Twaron and Technora yarns: Stronger More energy-efficient Maintenance-free Better synchronized More flexible Less noise
Safety gloves for professionals Protective gloves made with Twaron Premium Line yarns: Lost time incidents to a minimum Maximum wearing comfort: quality & productivity
Stab and bullet protection in one Twaron gives: High ballistic protection Low weight, greater comfort and longer lifetimes Protection against penetration of bullets, fragments as well as stabbing
Maximum protection where it counts most Twaron in helmets: Low weight, comfortable Long-lasting, maintenance-free and repairable Protects against penetration of bullets, shrapnel and hot bomb fragments Lower Back Face Deformation (BFD) Non-inflammable
For vehicles that save lives Twaron laminates for vehicle armor: High ballistic protection Weight savings of 60 to 70% Enhanced speed and allowance for heavier payloads Easy to install even after vehicle construction
Off shore application With Twaron and Technora yarns: Reduced weight Improved product performance Extended product lifetimes Longer lengths Reduced installation costs
When steel fails Deepwater development: 3 km steel cable is too heavy Twaron and Technora make it possible Under very harsh conditions Other reinforcements in oil and gas industry are umbilicals and flow lines.
Worry free oil transport Thermoplastic pipes with Twaron replace steel oil flow lines: Easy installation Long lengths without joints No corrosion Low maintenance
Twaron keeps us on-line Optical fiber cables should not be Bent Stretched Become wet Twaron waterblocking yarn Reinforces the cable Repairs the mantle when water intrudes Twaron is widely used in optical fiber cables
Civil engineering Twaron is used for many purposes: Restoration Retrofitting Earth quake protection
Providing strength and safety in marine Twaron and Technora in hulls: Strong and light Structural integrity after failure Twaron and Technora in high performance racing sails: Dimensional stability with textile properties In special ropes and cables
In aerospace Parts with Twaron or Technora are: Stronger Lighter Retaining structural integrity after failure
Engineering plastics Twaron and Technora benefits: High wear resistance, low abrasiveness Easy to dose Ability to engineer precisely the level of wear resistance required Reduction of vibration and sound dampening
Technical paper Benefits when using Twaron: High dimensional stability Thermal and chemical stability Low weight, high strength and flexibility Good tribological properties Excellent electrical insulation Mechanical and acoustic damping
Long lasting sealing solutions When using Twaron gives: Resists high temperatures Provides an excellent mechanical bond Reinforces the gasket mix, resulting in: - Higher production speeds - Higher roll pressures Stands up well to extreme mixing conditions
Twaron in Composites Twaron matches key requirements in the composites market: High specific strength and modulus (see comparison with CF next slide) High impact strength, no brittle failing behaviour Non-conductive (electrically insulating) Flexible, easy to handle Lowers abrasion compounds tremendously (short-cut fiber)
