High Tenacity Aramid Fiber
TECHNORA

Technora is a para-aramid fiber independently developed by Teijin, which has been commercially available since 1987. It has high tensile strength, high modulus and excellent resistance to heat and chemicals, especially acids and alkalis.

Technora is made from copolymers and is produced in the different process from PPTA(poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide) .

For its superior properties as stated above, Technora is used in rubber reinforcement, ropes, protective goods, cement and plastic reinforcement and many other industrial applications.

Characteristics

(1) High tensile strength
The tensile strength of Technora is 28g/de(24.7cn/dtex,350kg/mm2), which is 8 times as strong as steel and 3 times as strong as fiberglass, polyester and nylon of the same weight. This property will serve significantly to reduce weight.

(2) Fatigue resistance
High tenacity fibers generally show a loss of strength against repeated abrasion, flexure and stretch, Technora has excellent fatigue resistance, as compared to the other high tenacity fibers.

(3) Dimensional stability
Technora has a stiff and highly oriented molecular structure which leads to a high modulus, low creep and low stress relaxation. Due to its low thermal shrinkage, it has good dimensional stability.

(4) Heat resistance
Technora has a decomposition temperature of 500C. It can be used at 200C for long periods of time and, even at 250C, it maintains more than half of its tensile strength that was measured at room temperature.

(5) Chemical resistance
Technora exhibits high resistance to both acids, alkalis and organic solvents. It is also resistant to sea water and steam.

Ropes

The exceptional strength and light-weight of Dyneema® fibers allow for the manufacturing of ropes with very special characteristics. Successful applications include mooring and towing lines, offshore positioning ropes, yachting lines, commercial fishing ropes and roundslings and arborist lines. The Dyneema® grades used for ropes are SK60, SK65, SK75 and SK78.

Exceptional strength
A rope made with Dyneema® is as strong as a wire rope, with the same diameter but only about 10% of the weight per meter. A new rope made with Dyneema® has a low elongation to break of approx. 6%, falling to 3.5% in use. As the elongation decreases, the breaking strength of the rope increases by approx. 10%, as load-sharing between the Dyneema® fibers improves. This results in much less backlash in the event of failure. Building staggered failure into the rope can reduce this even further or eliminate it altogether.


Excellent fatigue resistance
Dyneema®, with a specific density of less than one, has a neutral buoyancy. It also outperforms steel and other synthetic rope materials in terms of both tension-tension fatigue and bending-bending fatigue.


Durability
The properties of Dyneema® are not impaired by sea water and the ropes’ breaking strength remains constant in wet or dry conditions. These ropes have good UV resistance, and are unaffected by oil or commonly used chemicals. They also show good abrasion resistance. A mantle construction to protect the rope is advisable in some cases.


Processing requirements
Dyneema® is compatible with all commonly used ropemaking techniques, and has been tested in the following constructions:

• Wire-laid and semi-parallel constructions: These provide the best balance between strength and bending-bending fatigue. Both sockets and splices can be used for terminations.
• 8-strand plaited ropes: These are mainly used for applications such as towing and mooring, as this construction is the most resistant to mechanical damage. These ropes can be easily spliced.
• 12-strand braided ropes: In some applications this construction performs even better than the 8-strand plaited rope.
• Braided ropes: These are the first choice for yachting ropes, winch lines and other smaller ropes. The ropes can be covered with another braid and the terminations can be splices or sockets.

Dyneema® is easy to process. In order to maintain the high tenacity and low elongation, whatever the rope construction, the Dyneema® fiber must be held under constant tension and differences in path length should be avoided during processing. The contact points are very important: these should be hard, with a surface like a skin of an orange. They should preferably be rolling, and should not be worn.

Technical and commercial support
Our expert application engineers and state-of-the-art Technicum laboratory are available to support you in identifying, developing or processing the best rope made with Dyneema® application for you, based on your needs and our extensive research. We are also able to conduct a system cost analysis for almost all applications, helping you to identify the benefits of Dyneema® for your business.
