Our solutions
Ultra-high performance tire reinforcement
Twaron® sets the standard in ultra-high performance (UHP) tire reinforcement. Tires designed with this para-aramid fiber boost performance, durability, and sustainability across diverse ultra high-performance tire applications, tailored to meet the demands of each specific tire type.
Passenger Car Tires
Twaron® is used in the cap ply reinforcement of high-performance passenger car tires. This layer maintains the tire's shape at high speeds, preventing expansion due to centrifugal forces while providing excellent handling behaviour and reduces flat spotting.
Electric Vehicle Tires
EV tires benefit from Twaron® in belt and carcass reinforcement, offering weight reduction and efficient torque transfer. Twaron® reinforcement enhances energy efficiency and load-carrying capacity.
Aircraft Tires
In aircraft tires, Twaron® reinforces the belt layer, providing a lighter tire that can be retreaded multiple times, enhancing durability and reducing overall weight.
Motorcycle Tires
Twaron® is used in both bias and radial motorcycle tires for belt reinforcement, improving handling and cornering stability, and providing superior performance.
Racing Tires
In racing tires, Twaron® reinforces the belt, offering exceptional strength and stability needed for high-speed racing conditions.
Off-The-Road Tires (OTR)
Twaron® reinforcement in OTR tires provides lighter, corrosion-free, and durable tires, essential for demanding off-road conditions.
Bicycle Tires
Twaron® is used for making foldable beads and an anti-puncture fabric layer below the tread area in bicycle tires, ensuring durability and flexibility.
Product value
Twaron® delivering clear value in UHP tires
Twaron® is the superior choice for UHP tire reinforcement, offering unmatched performance, durability, and sustainability. Compared to materials like steel, rayon and polyester, Twaron® provides significant weight reduction, enhancing energy efficiency and handling. Its exceptional strength and flexibility make it ideal for cap ply, belt, carcass, and bead reinforcement.
Lightweight
6x stronger than steel, reducing tire weight and improving energy efficiency.
Superior performance
Provides superior handling, high dimensional stability, effective torque transfer and excellent load carrying capacity.
Improved durability
Corrosion-free reinforcement and high thermal stability for stable long-lasting performance.
Sustainable choice
Reduces material consumption, with the lowest carbon footprint and lower use-phase emissions.
Sustainability
Twaron® for sustainable tire design
Twaron® is a key component in creating lightweight tires, reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 2g per kilometer per car. This environmental benefit is based on a TÜV-certified Customer Benefit Model calculation for a 275 45 R19 108Y tire. As the aramid fiber producer with the lowest carbon footprint, we lead the way in producing aramid fiber with renewable content, supporting sustainable tire design.
