Industry value
Redefining safety through aramid innovation
Teijin Aramid has provided para- and meta-aramid materials for protective wear for over 50 years. Our mission is twofold: enhance the performance of safety gear and reduce its environmental impact. Through continuous innovation, we address industry challenges, focusing on both product efficiency and sustainability.
Performance
Aramid-based PPE increases the durability, colorfastness, and lifespan of protective wear while providing superior protection against heat, flame, cuts and chemical hazards.
Durability
We work with leading PPE manufacturers to create protective clothing that retains its properties, withstanding repeated laundering and tough environmental wear and tear.
Circularity
We advocate for circularity, carbon neutrality, and product performance in protective apparel, developing solutions and fostering partnerships to reduce both pre- and post-consumer waste.
Solutions
Protecting those who need it most
We actively partner with you to deliver the best solution – no matter your industry. From industrial workers and police to emergency responders and beyond, our priority is flame resistance and durability that doesn’t compromise on protection.
Industrial workwear
Industrial workwear made with Twaron® protect against heat, cuts, and mechanical hazards. Teijinconex® and Teijinconex® neo protect against heat, flames, and electric arc. In addition to providing protection, workwear made with our aramids is more durable and offers a longer lifespan than traditional flame-resistant workwear.
Racing suits
Racing suits made with our aramid fibers help drivers stay focused—thanks to certified, breathable protection that reduces weight, enhances comfort, and minimizes heat stress.
"The integration of Teijin Aramid's fibers has transformed our product line. Our customers now benefit from gear that offers superior protection while being lightweight and comfortable."
Michael Batson, Director of Innovation, True North.
Our aramids
The premium para-aramid. It’s six times as strong as steel, with great heat and chemical resistance, ideal for industrial and reinforcement applications.
Sustainability
Leading in sustainable PPE
Protecting life goes beyond just personal protective equipment. Our ambition is to protect those in danger while also protecting our environment from PPE waste going to landfills.
Teijin Aramid works closely with our partners to create a circular value chain. Our actions include:
Take-back | Recycling | Life-cycle assessment |
|---|---|---|
| We collaborate to reclaim end-of-life garments and partner with organizations that recycle aramid fibers. | We work with partners to optimize recycling technologies, reduce energy and aim for carbon neutrality through the reuse of aramids. | We evaluate financial and environmental impacts from production to end-of-life, offering insights for sustainable, cost-effective operations. |
