Product catalog summary
Overview of Twaron for Heat & Cut Protection
Twaron is a high-performance para-aramid fiber known for its superior strength, outstanding heat and flame resistance, remarkable flexibility, ultra-lightweight, and exceptional cut resistance. It is widely used in personal protective equipment (PPE) due to its ability to withstand high temperatures and mechanical impacts.
Key Benefits of Twaron
  • Superior strength: Five times stronger than steel by weight.
  • Outstanding heat resistance: Can withstand temporary exposure to temperatures up to 700°C without significant mass loss.
  • Excellent flame resistance: Does not burn, melt, or drip and maintains strength after thermal exposure.
  • Remarkable flexibility and ultra-lightweight: Offers a unique balance of properties unmatched by other fibers.
  • Exceptional cut resistance: Ideal for applications requiring protection against sharp objects.
Market Requirements
There is a growing demand for PPE that provides effective heat and flame resistance while also protecting against mechanical impacts. Twaron is the material of choice for 100% solutions and as a blending partner with other high-performance fibers for custom-built solutions.
Product Range
Twaron para-aramid is available as both a staple fiber and a filament yarn in various yarn counts and fiber lengths for textile applications in protective apparel, such as cut-resistant gloves and heat-resistant workwear.
Technical Specifications
Twaron exhibits a density of 1.44 g/cm³, a maximum tensile strength of 190-250 cN/tex, and an elongation at break of 3.5%. It has a Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) of 29% and a decomposition point of 500°C. The fiber does not have a melting point, making it suitable for high-temperature applications.

Teijin Aramid leaflet protection-1

Twaron for heat & cut protection Key benefits of Twaron • Superior strength • Outstanding heat resistance • Excellent flame resistance • Remarkable flexibility • Ultra light weight • Exceptional cut resistance 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.

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 charforming so that it maintains its strength after thermal exposure. Twaron can withstand temporary exposures to temperatures as high as 700° C without any significant loss of mass (when permanently exposed, it is recommended that temperatures do not exceed 200° C). We do not accept any liability for the results of the use of these products. The technical data in this leaflet reflects our best knowledge at the time of publication. The content of this leaflet...
