What is Technora®? Technora® is Teijin Aramid’s high-end, high-performance, para-aramid yarn. Thanks to a unique co-polymer chemical composition that sets it apart from other PPTA-based para-aramid yarns, Technora® offers superior performance in terms of fatigue, abrasion resistance, chemical stability and temperature resistance. The result is outstanding durability combined with very high tenacity. First commercially produced more than 30 years ago, Technora® can now be found in multiple challenging applications, with a proven track record for delivering performance across a wide range of...

What types of Technora® are available? Filament yarn Technora® filament yarn adds value to numerous applications – including power-transmission belts for automotive, industrial and agricultural applications, as well as hoses, ropes and cables, flexible pipes, rubber products, protective clothing and composites – and is available in a wide range of linear densities and surface treatments. Specifically, it can be supplied in linear densities starting as low as ~ 60 dtex, depending on the yarn type. Available in either dark yellow or black, Technora® staple fibers reinforce textile...

A unique combination of properties Mechanical properties Unlike other high-performance aramids, Technora® offers both excellent primary properties, such as tenacity and strength, and secondary properties, such as heat and abrasion resistance. Because of this, Technora® can meet a wide range of demanding requirements, making it ideal for highly challenging applications. Technora® yarns have a very high strength, offering a tensile strength that is three to four times higher than polyester and polyamide yarns and eight times higher than steel on a weight-for-weight basis. In addition,...

How is Technora® used? Dimensional stability Chemical resistance The dimensional stability of the reinforcing material is often key in many applications. The high modulus of Technora® ensures that the end-use product shows minimal deformation under a wide range of loading conditions. What’s more, the end-use product maintains its required dimensions over a long period of time due to the very low and quickly diminishing creep behavior of Technora®. In fact, the material stabilizes even further at higher temperatures, indicated by a further reduction in creep. In addition, Technora® has a...

Transmission belts Automotive hoses Technora® provides short-cut fiber compound reinforcement, as well as twisted cords and fabrics, in a wide range of power-transmission belts for automotive, industrial and agricultural applications. Specifically, Technora® enhances a number of key rubber compound characteristics, such as resistance against abrasion, fatigue, puncture and tears, while also improving strength and hardness. Technora® also allows a low strain in the compound and ultimately helps in reducing energy loss. This makes Technora® ideal for high-end transmission belt applications in...

Sustainable value creation: Durability Umbilicals and flowlines The aramid products in Teijin Aramid’s portfolio are intrinsically capable of enabling sustainability. Technora® makes light weight, long-lasting, durable solutions possible. In this way, it contributes to a reduction in carbon footprint, while allowing customers to conserve scarce raw materials and reduce the lifecycle cost of their applications. Furthermore, we are optimizing our product offering in order to enable the reduction of aramid waste at our customers’ production sites. Remaining aramid waste is reused to create...
