Let’s go deeper Deepwater developments In today’s dynamic world, fossil fuels are becoming increasingly difficult to extract. Nowhere is this more evident then in the offshore oil and gas industry where this trend is driving the development of lightweight materials to replace steel. This is especially true in deeper and more remote waters, requiring new technologies to extract oil more efficiently from existing fields. In addition, with ever higher working pressures, temperatures and more aggressive crudes being extracted, the performance requirements of materials used subsea are becoming increasingly demanding. In this environment Twaron and especially Technora p-aramid fibers come into their own. Key benefits when using our aramid • Reduced weight • Reduced installation costs • Reduced installation time • Extended product lifetimes • Longer lengths • Improved product performance

Light and strong With unique properties such as high tenacity, high strength and high-tensile modulus, Twaron and Technora para-aramid fibers from Teijin Aramid are perfectly suited to reinforcing a wide range of deepwater products. When used as a replacement for steel, p-aramid enables deepwater developers to reach new depths without compromising on strength. Twaron’s properties Twaron fibers have a unique set of properties. Besides high tenacity, high strength and high modulus, the fibers offer exceptional resistance to corrosion, high temperatures and chemicals. These properties make...
