Lightweight mechanical protection
Filaments, staple and yarn suit cut- and puncture-resistant fabrics, nonwovens, reinforcement and blended constructions.
Technical textiles and protective clothing
A material for a specific protection mechanism
Para-aramid is intended for flame- and heat-resistant fabrics; UHMWPE for lightweight cut-, puncture- and abrasion-resistant constructions. They can be used separately or in multilayer systems.
01 — ROLE IN THE PRODUCT
How each material works
The material is selected by its function in the structure. The same product may require different fibres depending on the environment and load.
Heat and flame protection
Staple and filament forms are used in protective clothing for welders, firefighters and industrial personnel, and in heat-resistant felts.
02 — APPLICATIONS
Where the yarn is used
Protective clothing
Flame-, fragment-, cut- and abrasion-resistant products.
Technical fabrics
A base for protective layers, bags, equipment and reinforcement of working zones.
Nonwovens
Staple for filtering, protective and heat-resistant webs.
Multilayer systems
Outer fabric, protective package, insulation and lining combined for the operating conditions.

Supply forms and series
A starting point for a technical inquiry, not a ready-made pilot specification.
- L and D: yarn for fabrics
- AC & CF: reinforced cut-resistant series
- Staple 1.21–1.91 dtex × 38/51 mm
- Spun yarn 13S / 20S / 40S
- U series for UD materials
- Staple 38/51 mm, 1.68–2.52 dtex
- Filament yarn 220–3340 dtex
- Super-short fibre 3/6 mm for special materials
What the material offers
- A choice between heat resistance and minimum weight
- Blended and multilayer constructions are possible
- UHMWPE resists moisture and many chemical environments
- Para-aramid suits flame-protective clothing
Mandatory checks
- Para-aramid needs UV protection outdoors
- Flame resistance is assessed on the complete garment
- Shrinkage, abrasion, sewing and impregnation must be tested
- IR signature and other special properties require separate tests
05 — SELECTION AND PILOT
Four inputs for a technical inquiry
The more precise the inputs, the fewer unnecessary samples and the faster the comparison with the incumbent material.
ProtectionCut, fragment, flame, contact heat or abrasion
TextileWeave, areal density, yarn and blend composition
ProductionSpinning, weaving, sewing, impregnation and cutting
ServiceUV, moisture, climate, comfort and garment weight
Questions for the product manufacturer
Which standards apply to the finished fabric and garment?
Record the answer in the technical specification together with the control material, pilot volume, test method and acceptance criteria.
What are the target areal density and construction?
Record the answer in the technical specification together with the control material, pilot volume, test method and acceptance criteria.
Must flame and cut resistance be combined?
Record the answer in the technical specification together with the control material, pilot volume, test method and acceptance criteria.
How does the current material behave in sewing and service?
Record the answer in the technical specification together with the control material, pilot volume, test method and acceptance criteria.
