Adding value, raising performance
Lowering weight, reducing carbon footprints, driving safety. Today’s manufacturers are being asked to go further, to achieve the unachievable and to reach new levels of performance. It means that, from the deepest oceans to outer space, there is demand for stronger, lighter and more durable materials. Materials that can offer maximum performance and reliability, at all times. In particular, composite materials need to offer superior reinforcement, strength and resistance to meet the demands of consumers – today and in the future.
Our materials deliver all these qualities and more. From civil engineering to aerospace, sporting goods, laminated sails, automotive, airfreight containers and much more, our high-performance materials are changing the game. Day by day, industry by industry. Around the world, our materials are adding value and delivering stronger, more reliable products. So that, whatever your industry, whatever your application, you can always be sure the final product is the very best.

Twaron®, Technora® and Endumax® – for composites without compromise
With our para-aramid fibers, Twaron® and Technora®, and our UHMWPE material, Endumax®, we offer high-performance alternatives to traditional reinforcement materials. Our solutions have a unique set of mechanical properties. Weight for weight, Twaron® is five times stronger than steel with a high modulus. Technora® is eight times stronger. And Endumax® offers unrivalled stiffness, impact and abrasion resistance. All these materials offer excellent chemical and heat resistance – qualities that enhance formulation and transform the strength, durability and lightness of the manufactured solution. So, whatever your requirements, our product portfolio will offer the solution. Of that you can be sure.
Driving quality, together
Without doubt, the best composite solutions are the result of knowledge-sharing and collaboration. It’s why we always work closely with our customers, from R&D throughout production, to meet their individual requirements. So, together, we can offer users the level of performance they deserve.
