How Twaron® acts as a sustainability multiplier
Twaron ® is a high-performance aramid, meaning it is light, strong, and durable. By using Twaron ® manufacturers extend the lifespan of their applications and minimize resource and energy requirements in the use phase. For example, the use phase of an application’s lifecycle is often the dominant phase in terms of its environmental impact. In the lifecycle of an airplane the biggest source of emissions is not the energy consumed during its production, but the fuel burnt while in the air. Lighter cargo can reduce the amount of energy required during the use phase of the plane. This is true for many aramid-based applications.
