The Teijin booth will also present high-performance solutions incorporating various proprietary materials, including Twaron, Technora, and Teijinconex aramid fibres for protective clothing and reinforcement applications, Endumax ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene tape for bullet-resistant plate and reinforcement applications, polyester materials, such as elk lightweight urethane-alternative cushioning, Nanofront high-strength, ultra-fine nanofibre for consumer and industrial purposes, and Tepyrus ultra-fine short-cut fibre, the company said in a media statement.

High-performance composite materials that offer new value are one of the four business pillars in the transformation and growth strategies of Teijin’s current medium-term business plan. The company has put a high priority on leveraging its high-performance materials in advanced solutions to meet diverse demands in the global market. (GK)
