Composites

Marine industry

Twaron is used in sails for its high modulus, low weight and flex fatigue resistance. The hulls of sailing boats and motorboats are also reinforced with Twaron for its strength, energy absorption, low weight and vibration and sound-proofing properties.  

Aerospace industry

As weight is a critical factor in this high-tech industry, Twaron is often used to reinforce composite constructions such as fairings and airfreight containers.

Industrial components

Twaron is used in industrial components, such as high-pressure vessels, for its high modulus and strength. It is also used in rods for circuit breakers, where the combination of high modulus and Twaron’s dielectric properties offer specific advantages.

Ground transportation

As the costs of transport rise, lightweight, high-strength alternatives to more traditional materials are increasingly attractive. With excellent mechanical and physical properties combined with low density, Twaron is increasingly becoming a material of choice in the design of lightweight parts for heavy-duty purposes.
