At the cutting edge of performance
Sharp objects, hot metal, glass, chemicals – the modern workplace presents multiple hazards for manufacturing and heavy industry professionals. Cuts, abrasions and burns can harm people and their careers. And yet many standard protection gloves and garments offer only limited resistance against these threats. Others restrict movement and provide limited comfort. Workers deserve better: gloves and clothing delivering maximum safety with no loss of mobility. No ifs, no buts, no maybes.
Across industries and around the world, Teijin Aramid is changing the game by setting new standards with our cut- and heat-protection products. Twaron®, our high-performance para-aramid fiber, offers outstanding resistance against cutting and abrasion, as well as heat and flame. Five-times stronger than steel weight for weight, Twaron® protects hands and bodies – without restricting dexterity or comfort. Day after day, year after year, our materials do their job so that professionals can do theirs.

Resistance without compromise
Whatever the industry, whatever the threat, our technology gives workers the protection they need. The unique set of mechanical properties of Twaron® makes it the ultimate reinforcement product for protective gloves – providing four times the cut resistance of cotton gloves, and eight times that of leather applications. What’s more, Twaron® can withstand prolonged exposure to temperatures of up to 250°C (500°F). Outstanding cut protection? Check. Superior heat resistance? No problem.
The ultimate solution for longer lifetimesOne thing’s for sure: products made with Twaron® are built to last. Even after prolonged heat exposure and multiple washings, gloves and clothing made with our fiber still perform. And they still offer the same level of user comfort and mobility. So, whether it’s durability and extended lifetime performance you’re looking for, or lower overall costs, you’ve come to the right place
