Our models in Para Aramide
Technical material
A fiber
technique
Aramid fibers belong to the polyamide family.
Aramid fibers
Aramid fibers belong to the polyamide family (the word aramid comes from the contraction of "aromatic polyamide"). This is a class of fibers that are highly heat-resistant and/or have excellent mechanical properties (notably resistance to breakage). They are widely used in our technical textiles.
Kevlar
Kevlar® was developed in the USA by the DuPont company. Competitors then drew inspiration from the formula to create equivalents: the Dutch company AkzoNobel created Twaron®, then the Japanese company Teikin created Technora®.
Technical uses
These fibers, which have excellent heat, shear and tensile strength properties while retaining low density, have become indispensable in ropes and webbings for technical applications: protective clothing, composite or rubber reinforcements...
We are also
makers!
On request or by catalog, we are able to combine all our textile articles with an infinite choice of endings: plastic buckles, metal parts, hooks, tilting ends, lugs, snap hooks...
Our technical team is at your disposal for all your developments.
