What is Teijinconex®?
Teijinconex® is a high-performance, meta-aramid fiber. Our lightweight synthetic fiber offers high-performance protection with excellent resistance to heat, flame, and chemicals, enabling end-use products that are stronger, lighter and more durable in many applications.
Solutions
What types of Teijinconex® do we offer?
Teijinconex® neo fiber for customization
Teijinconex® neo is a dyeable meta-aramid staple fiber. Its excellent dyeability means that producers of yarns and fabrics are able to dye their products to various colors according to the customer’s requirement. This also allows more flexible and efficient stock management.
Teijinconex® dope-dyed fiber for color choice
Dope-dyed fibers bring cost savings and a wide range of colors to protective apparel. Unlike conventional methods such as piece dyeing, this technique is more energy-efficient, conserves water, and results in significantly lower carbon emissions. In addition, dope-dyed fibers retain their vibrant color for longer, leading to extended use of garments.
Teijinconex® raw white fiber for multiple applications
Teijinconex® raw white fiber is a staple meta-aramid fiber that has not been treated for color addition. The material’s high-performance mechanical properties can be used in a wide range of applications, from protective clothing to automotive hoses, industrial felt, copy cleaners, speaker dampers and filtration systems.
Teijinconex® tow for strength
The strength of Teijinconex® tow is ideal for conversion into high-tenacity yarn. It is commonly used for producing high-strength sewing threads.
Teijinconex® KB (stretch-broken yarn) for durability
Teijinconex® KB is a stretch-broken yarn that offers outstanding strength and durability. It is typically used by manufacturers for applications that require long-term heat resistance and higher strength, such as automotive hose reinforcement.
Teijinconex® short-cut fiber for heat-resistant reinforcement
Teijinconex® short-cut fiber is composed of finely chopped strands of between 1–6 mm, typically used by manufacturers to reinforce engineering plastics and rubber compounds. Due to its excellent heat resistance, Teijinconex® shortcut fiber does not degrade with the high temperatures required for molding plastics or vulcanizing rubber. These qualities make it ideal for improving the abrasion resistance of rubber or plastic parts.
