There's moor with Teijin Aramid!
The myths unraveled
The mooring line industry is not yet fully aware of the potential of aramid-based mooring line solutions – there are several common misconceptions about aramid technology in the market. To unravel these myths, Teijin Aramid has set up a full field trial with its partner Teho Ropes, in which three cargo vessels have been equipped with aramid-based mooring lines. The outcome of this initiative, offer new light on the practical advantages of aramid-based mooring line solutions.
The impact of temperature on mooring lines
Choosing the right mooring line solution for the right environment is crucially important – the safety of mooring line operators depends on it. However, many mooring lines are only tested in “perfect” laboratory conditions that assume the whole world is at a stable 21°C with only an occasional spot of rain. To test the performance of mooring lines in real-world conditions, such as at elevated temperatures, Teijin Aramid decided to conduct its own tests. The results? Check out the video below!

Tool
Make yarn calculations more reliable
Until now, most fiber and textile companies have used special tables and formulas printed on paper to convert metric/imperial units – an inefficient process leading to inaccuracies and serious mistakes. Now, Teijin Aramid has launched a new smartphone app helping customers to reduce calculation errors with a special, easy-to-use conversion tool for smartphones.Read more
