Teijin Aramid - High Performance Aramid Yarns for the Offshore Industry

Teijin Aramid is a leading manufacturer of the high performance aramids Twaron®, Technora® and Teijinconex®, available as yarn, fiber and pulp, and the aramid-based rubber ingredient Sulfron®.

Leading industry suppliers in the offshore industry select Twaron and Technora to reduce costs and cut installation times while, at the same time, improving product performance and extending product lifetime.

UNIQUE PRODUCT PROPERTIES

Twaron and Technora offer excellent mechanical properties, like high tenacity, high modulus, resistance to high temperatures and good fatigue resistance. These properties are achieved at relatively low weight. Furthermore, they are very resistant to all sorts of chemical influences.

REINFORCEMENT FOR ROPES AND CABLES

This unique combination of properties makes Twaron and Technora the materials of choice for high performance ropes and cables with advantages over both synthetic yarns and steel.

REINFORCED THERMOPLASTIC PIPES

Twaron Teinforced Thermoplastic Pipes (RTP) are characterized by their corrosion resistance, high-pressure rating, low weight and high flexibility. Combined with the availability on long lengths, reliable coupling, superior UV resistance and high durability, Twaron RTPs offer a state-of-the-art pipeline solution in applications for transport of oil, gas and water.

DEEPWATER DEVELOPMENT

Besides ropes and cables and RTPs, Twaron and Technora are excellently suited to reinforce the broad range of deepwater equipment such as umbilicals, flowlines, straps, slings, optical fiber cables and mooring lines.

WORLDWIDE MARKETS

Aramids are also used in a wide variety of other markets and applications, including the automotive market (e.g., in tires, hoses and belts), aerospace, civil engineering, construction, leisure goods (e.g., in boats), protective clothing (e.g., bullet, fire and cut-resistant clothing), optical fiber cables, friction and sealing materials, and more.

These worldwide markets are served by Teijin Aramid’s global sales and marketing network and can rely on the strong back-up of our ongoing R&D processes, our in-depth knowledge of applications and our strong belief in the power of aramid.
