Para-aramid filament yarn Twaron®

yellow

The all-round high performer. Suitable for manufacturers of products that need to be stronger, lighter, and more resistant to chemicals.  Mechanical properties Exceptional tensile strength, 2 – 3 times stronger than polyester and up to 6 times stronger than steel. Dimensional stability Shows minimal deformation or shrinkage under a wide range of conditions. Thermal properties Twaron® and Technora® are heat resistant up to 190°C (374°F) and 210°C (410°F) respectively. Both demonstrate excellent thermal stability and low heat conductivity. Chemical resistance High resistance to organic chemicals. Other properties Provides a long economic lifetime for the end product. Technically well-established flagship product. Around the world, all our global site operations are underpinned by a rigorous system that ensures compliance with relevant laws and regulations. As such, our operations meet high quality, health and environmental standards. Our materials also meet the highest regulatory standards. Dedicated specialists in our manufacturing departments continually monitor the production of Twaron®, which is made from monomers in several stages: polymerization, continuous filament yarn spinning and converting. Step 1: Polymerization The process begins with the combination of monomers to form a sturdy, finely-grained para-aramid polymer. This material has the typical heat resistance and chemical properties of para-aramid. Step 2: Continuous filament yarn spinning Next, the polymer is dissolved in sulfuric acid to create a liquid crystalline solution.
