Aramid Fibers
The Teijin Group develops aramid and carbon fibers, two examples of advanced fibers, and also boasts a strong line-up of various cutting-edge materials, including flame-resistant fibers and high-performance polyethylene/polyester fibers. We provide diverse, wide-ranging solutions for global markets to answer demand for superior performance/safety centering on industrial applications. Furthermore, we are uniting with customers to aggressively pioneer applications and markets for composites that utilize these cutting-edge materials. In this way, through developing advanced, high-quality products and continuing to pioneer new markets, the Teijin Group has established a position as a major player in the advanced fibers and composites global market.
Amid a global climate increasingly oriented towards energy savings, reduced use of resources, and security/safety, the Teijin Group will instigate further efforts to develop next-generation advanced fibers and composites, and to pioneer new applications, to meet the needs of societies and markets, and thereby forge ahead with further business expansion.

Aramid fibers are broadly classified into para-aramids and meta-aramids according to their molecular structure. The outstanding tenacity and tensile modulus, heat-resistance and dimensional stability of para-aramids make them suited for use in various applications, such as automotive components, optical fiber reinforcements and protective clothing. The Teijin Group holds approximately half of the global market share for para-aramids. Meta-aramids boast long-term heat/flame resistance, and are thus favored for flame-/heat-resistant clothing such as firefighting uniforms, as well as industrial materials including heat-resistant filters for industrial plants.
