TWARON:TEIJIN
Filament yarn(yellow & black) Staple fiber (yellow & black)

High strength (excellent strength-toweight properties) High modulus High dimensional stability Excellent heat, cut and chemical resistance No melting point (degradation only starts at 500C) Low flammability Non-conductivity

Twaron is suitable for a virtually unlimited range of challenging applications:

Ballistic-protection products Civil engineering products Composites Cut-protection products Elastomer reinforcements Engineering plastics Heat-protection products Friction products Optical fiber cables Reinforced thermoplastic pipes Ropes and cables Sealing materials Specialty paper products Tires

Twaron yellow staple fiber

Twaron staple fibers are available in a range of yarn counts and fiber lengths for textile applications in protective apparel and industrial applications.

Special types are available on request.

Twaron yellow filament yarn

Twaron is available in many different types, including filament yarn. Twaron can be supplied in the following filament-yarn forms:

Standard modulus filament yarn (twisted or untwisted), with 250-10,000 filaments High-modulus filament yarn, with 250-15,000 filaments High-tenacity filament yarn, with 500-2,000 filaments

To help our customers find optimal solutions, our Research & Development experts have also developed special surface treatments, such as water-blocking finishes for optical fiber cables and adhesion activation finishes for rubber products. These treatments further improve the yarns properties and/or processability.

Countless applications
As filament yarn, the power of Twaron has proven itself in a great many applications, including in: Ballistic-protection products, Composites ,Cut-protection products, Elastomer reinforcements, Heat-protection products, Optical fiber cables, Reinforced thermoplastic pipes, Ropes and cables & Tires.
