Tires
Aramid’s superior performance-to-weight ratio makes it the first-choice material for reinforcing high-performance tires. As a result, major tire producers are increasingly turning to Twaron® in customized applications to meet speed, handling and comfort requirements. Teijin Aramid’s newest product, Sulfron®, offers producers thermal stability, durability and reduced fuel consumption. With these two products, Teijin Aramid is a leading supplier to the global tire industry.
Optimal performance
Today, optimal performance at a minimum weight has become a key requirement for all tires – and not just high-speed tires. As a result, more and more companies are developing ultra-lightweight (ULW) passenger car tires for the general public. Twaron reinforcing cords and fabrics are the best means of reducing tire weight, reducing fuel consumption and improving comfort, while maintaining general performance requirements, such as safety and longevity. Tires made with Sulfron, a modified aramid-based rubber ingredient, last even longer, are more durable and have a lower rolling resistance. This also lowers fuel consumption, without compromising performance.
Applications
Twaron and Sulfron are used in a wide range of tires, including:
- Passenger car tires
- Motorcycle tires
- Bicycle tires
- Truck and bus tires
- Agricultural tires
- Off-road tires
- Airplane tires
- Solid tires.
Product range
Twaron 1000: Most suitable Twaron grade for tire reinforcement. Mostly used in the cap ply, but also in the belt and carcass, and as sidewall inserts.
