Global key trends

• In recent years, there have been significant changes

in the requirements placed on both consumer and

industrial goods around the world

• There is a growing demand for products that

combine high performance with durability and low

maintenance

• At the same time, these products need to use less

energy, enhance safety, and they should ideally

have a smaller lifecycle ecological footprint

Responding to these trends • Our aramid fibers Twaron, Technora, Teijinconex and

Sulfron meet these high demands

Our product portfolio

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

Chopped fibers

Twaron Technora

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
