Technora® Fiber
High Strength & Abrasion Resistance
History
Technora® fiber was first made commercially available in 1987.
Composition
Technora® fiber is an aromatic copolyamide that has a highly oriented molecular structure, consisting of both para and meta linkages. Technora fiber is produced by condensation polymerization of different copolymers, yielding a high modulus, low creep, and thermally stable fiber.
