Recently, several Twaron®-based geotextiles have been developed and proven their success. When applied in the construction business, these geotextiles provide extra rigidity to the structure, permitting construction work on a very thin foundation layer. In addition, Twaron®'s excellent properties guarantee minimum cracking of the asphalt layer throughout a road's service life.

Optical Fiber Cables are designed to guarantee the integrity of data transmission through the optical fibers in the cable by protecting the Optical Fibers against mechanical stress during the life of the cable. In order to do so, a peripheral reinforcement of man-made fibers like Twaron® and Technora®, is necessary. In addition to protection, other demands on the cable can be made like non-conductivity, weight or diameter limitations, and specifications concerning flexibility and handling.

KERMEL company manufactures two types of meta aramid fibres:
- Kermel® is a highly technological meta aramid fibre, predominantly used in the manufacture of heat and flame resistant protective clothing.
- Kermel® Tech fibre is dedicated to industrial applications such as hot gas filtration.

The para-aramidic fibres are of a polymeric nature with exceptional cut-resistance and break resistance properties.
The para-aramidic fibres provide an extremely high impact resistance (anti-ballistic properties), besides cuts and have an important capacity to absorb kinetic energy and vibrations. Over and above all of this an optimum resistance to fire and heat, to chemical agents, a good level of thermal non-conductivity and electrical insulation properties can be added.
Characteristics of the para-aramidic fibre
- High traction resistance
- Extremely light weight
- High impact resistance
- Extremely high absorption of kinetic energy caused by impacts
- Optimum resistance to cuts
- Good resistance to wear and tear
- Thermal and electrical insulation
- Resistance to fire
- Non generation of secondary fragments after impact
- Difficult to impregnate (important for the production of composites, but can be improved by a scouring treatment)
- High cost
