Market requirements There is growing demand for personal protective equipment in the workplace. Equipment that provides effective heat resistance, or even open flame resistance while also protecting against mechanical impacts. Think of the gloves and protective suits worn by firefighters or gloves used in industry, where objects with sharp edges need to be handled, to name but a few applications. Twaron is the material of choice for 100% solutions but also make it an excellent blending partner in combination with other high performance fibers for providing custom-built solutions for both heat and cut protection. Superior strength Outstanding heat resistance Excellent flame resistance Remarkable flexibility Ultra lightweight

Ultra-light, stronger than steel Twaron offers a unique balance of properties unmatched by other high-performance fibers. Twaron isa super-strong synthetic fiber that, weight by weight, is five times stronger than steel. These fibers are extremely lightweight and have superior tensile strength, excellent temperature, cut and chemical resistance. When the going gets hot... Twaron provides stability in a variety of high-temperature applications. It will not burn, melt or drip and it is char- forming so that it maintains its strength after thermal exposure. Twaron can withstand temporary exposures...
