Description

Twaron® is a para-aramid, high-performance yarn which combines the following characteristics:

High strength: excellent strength-to-weight ratio

High modulus

High dimensional stability: very low creep, small negative thermal expansion coefficient

Excellent thermal stability: usable across a wide range, no melting point, high heat stability, low heat conductivity

High cut resistance

Good chemical resistance

Low flammability

Electrically non-conductive

Long, well-characterised lifetime under static and dynamic loads

This material data has been provided by Matmatch.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
