Market developments Engineering plastics are subject to increasingly stringent requirements. The trend is toward more compact designs, smaller components that are subject to greater stresses such as higher temperatures and operating speeds. Many industries, particularly those in the automotive and electrical & electronic sectors, require components that are lighter, stronger, more compact, and more resistant to wear. Parts made from plastic compounds engineered with Twaron and Technora para-aramid short-cut fibers easily meet these specifications. Adding these to the mix will significantly enhance the endurance of your plastic products and reduce maintenance. Key benefits when using our aramid • High wear resistance, low abrasiveness • Easy to dose • Ability to engineer precisely the level of wear resistance required • Reduction of vibration and sound dampening Engineering wear resistance in plastics

Easy to dose A special sizing and cutting process has been developed to manufacture small rod-like pellets of Twaron and Technora for the engineering plastics market. This makes it possible to dose these products easily and precisely, so that you can achieve exactly the endurance properties you require. Product portfolio The fibers are available in a variety of lengths and, depending on the plastic matrix used, sized with either PU or PET. In addition to the impregnated fibers, Twaron and Technora short-cut fibers are also offered without any sizing. Twaron short-cut fiber is available in lengths...
