Yarn List Twaron ballistic yarns Linear Density Filaments Twaron-Type Dtex (effective) No. Chord Modulus The history of protecting man against weapons goes back to ancient times. For hundreds of years, metal materials have been used not only for body armor but also for the protection of larger objects such as vehicles, providing what is called ‘hard protection‘. However, it was only a few decades ago, at the end of WWII, that softer constructions in the form of ballistic nylon vests first began appearing. But these vests could not come close to offering the present level of ballistic protection...

Twaron ballistic fabrics Twaron yarn cross sections Recently, Teijin Aramid introduced the world’s finest filament yarn called Twaron 550f1000. This Whenever the combination of high functionality, comfort and economy is required, enhanced tenacity, ultra microfilament yarn enables the production of very lightweight ballistic you will find advanced para-aramid Twaron yarns being used in sophisticated fabric vests and is available in 550dtex with 1000 filaments. constructions tailored for specific end uses. In general, ballistic threats emanate either from bullets or fragments. Bullets can be defined...

The past years have brought many improvements in ballistic protection materials. Today’s lightweight protective vests need to meet a complex set of requirements, including Teijin Aramid’s approach, combining low-crimp woven products with low resin content, both bullet and stab protection. Solutions based on Twaron Unidirectional Laminate UD41 has resulted in Twaron Laminated Fabric Technology SB1 (LFT SB1) – a thin, very flexible – or those combining UD41 with other Twaron materials – offer several advantages for laminate comprising two fabric layers sandwiched with three layers of ultra-thin...

Twaron LFT-AT/AT Flex Twaron Sideguard® The primary objective of a ballistic pack is clear – to stop the bullet. But in a number of In the past, thickly layered and quilted ballistic fabrics provided protection against bullets situations, the resultant blunt trauma remains an obvious and unwelcome problem. and shrapnel (hot weapons), but not against blades, knifes and needles (cold weapons). The answer was the next generation of laminate technology - specially coated, layered In light of this, Teijin Aramid Ballistic Engineering has developed a material permitting an fabrics that could prevent...
