Twaron® and Endumax® -based air freight containers
Next-level performance composite ULDs
The market for Unit Load Devices (ULDs) is changing fast: air freight containers need to weigh less, meet higher safety requirements, require fewer repairs, and have a lower overall environmental impact. In this dynamic market, “performance” is not nice to have – it’s the only way.
That’s why, for over a decade, Teijin Aramid has helped to integrate our Twaron® and Endumax® materials into ULD solutions around the world. Together with our industry partners, our solutions are raising the bar on protection, durability and total environmental impact – and allowing the air cargo industry to fly high without fail.
In particular, Endumax® offers 11 times more strength than steel at the same weight – making it the strongest commercially available film in the world, and perfect for reinforcing airfreight containers. As such, airfreight containers that integrate Endumax® deliver the same performance as traditional containers, with roughly 40% less weight. Next to this its durability improves.

Driving safety and total performance
Lighter, stronger, and flame-retardant… Panels made with Twaron® can contain a fire with a peak temperature of 650°C for four hours, while Endumax®-reinforced panels offer a low weight at a competitive price. In this way, airlines can cut fuel costs, limit their environmental impact, and transport lithium batteries safely. Win, win, win. Check out our infographic below for more information.
