Optimizing Air Cargo Containers with Twaron®
Containers made with Twaron®-reinforced panels offer superior benefits for the air cargo industry. These containers, which are a type of Unit Loading Device (ULD), are lighter than aluminum, reducing weight and fuel consumption. Their superior toughness extends the lifespan of the containers, enhancing fleet durability. Additionally, aramid-reinforced container panels also ensure the safe transport of high-risk cargo, such as batteries, thereby elevating safety standards in air freight.
Product value
Enhancing ULDs with Twaron®
Twaron® enhances Unit Load Devices (ULDs) with high-performance para-aramid fiber, creating lighter, stronger, and flame-retardant Macrolite panels. This innovation reduces fuel costs and lowers environmental impact. Airlines benefit from improved performance and the secure transport of high-risk cargo, such as lithium batteries, which have the potential to ignite during transit.
Flame retardant
Twaron® fibers provide exceptional flame retardancy for air cargo containers.
Lightweight
Twaron® reduces ULD weight, cutting fuel use and boosting air cargo capacity.
Recyclable
Twaron® is recyclable, reducing waste and supporting a circular economy.
Impact-resistant
The impact resistance of Twaron® extends ULD lifespan and reliability.
Sustainability
Sustainable air freight containers with Twaron®
Twaron® supports sustainability in the aerospace industry by enabling the recycling of aramid-reinforced panels from air freight containers at end-of-life. Our partnership with Mallinda advances these efforts, focusing on innovative composite material recycling.
