Product Description

100m reel of lighter 1610 dtex aramid filament yarn. Aramid fibre is a very high tenacity synthetic fibre with high tensile modulus, low density, excellent flex fatigue/abrasion resistance and a very high temperature tolerance. Although usually used to weave into aramid woven fabrics, aramid tow (as listed here) is also used to wrap around joints to provide very strong burst strength, cut into lengths and layered into laminate to provide localised unidirectional strength or a range of other specific jobs including filament winding and even artistic scultpures.

Our aramid yarn is the reknowned Twaron® fibre manufactured by Teijin as a rival to Kevlar® and is the same type of fibre that we use in our range of woven aramid cloths. The yarn is supplied on a 100m spool. The yarn in this listing is 1610 decitex Twaron® 2200. A 1610 decitex yarn weighs 1.61kg per 10,000m.
