Providing strength and safetyMarine developments With the trend toward larger, more luxurious motorboats and sailing yachts as well as an increase in fast cruising and racing, the demand for greater strength and safety in the marine industry has grown in recent years. With increasing dimensions on one hand and a desire for higher speeds on the other hand, boat designers and builders are aiming to reduce the weight of yachts. Furthermore, they are looking for ways to minimize the impact of collisions and increase comfort by reducing vibration and noise. This is where our high-performance fiber Twaron comes in, providing structural integrity while dampening vibrations and noise. At Teijin Aramid we are continually supporting our customers in creating both new and optimized composite structures. Key benefits when using our aramid • Excellent damage tolerance • Excellent performance/weight ratio • Good vibration and sound-dampening properties • High modulus and tensile strength of the composite structure • High dimensional stability TechnoraThe power of Aramid

High-tech sails In the last decade there's been a revolution in high-tech sail-making. Today's high-performance sails need to be durable, light, strong and stretch-resistant, even under the most extreme conditions. The strength, stiffness and dimensional stability of Twaron-reinforced laminated sails help make it possible for racing yachts to compete at the highest level. At the request of customers in the sailing and sports industries, Teijin Aramid has developed an all-black high-modulus Twaron. This is in fact the first high-modulus black aramid yarn on the market. With Twaron Black, it...
