Twaron® Fiber
Twaron® is a very strong, light para-aramid fiber (poly-paraphyenylene terephthalamide). It has a high modulus, and is thermally stable, and highly impact and chemical resistant. Twaron is 5 times stronger than steel and has little loss of strength during repeated abrasion, flexing and stretching. Twaron is an outstanding material for ropes that need to meet specific demanding requirements. Twaron fiber can be twisted or braided into a number of rope constructions.
