Teijin Aramid
Teijin Aramid has introduced Twaron Next, a new line of high-performance para-aramid fibers developed with sustainability as a key priority. This innovation marks a major step towards the company’s sustainability goals.
These new fibers offer the same strength, durability, and heat resistance as traditional aramids, but they come in two environmentally conscious versions, one made with reclaimed aramid fibers from the company’s own production waste, and another created using renewable raw materials as the base for the polymer.
Twaron Next fibers can be used in protective clothing, automotive parts such as tyres and hoses, offshore energy applications, and a wide range of industrial composites. Their strong mechanical performance and consistency make them a suitable choice for companies looking for materials that meet strict technical standards while supporting their sustainability efforts.
