Teijinconex® Raw white fiber

• From protective clothing to automotive hoses, industrial felt, copy-cleaners and f iltration systems – the possibilities are very wideranging.
• Firefighters and other professionals risk their lives through exposure to heat, and flame, and the severe hazards associated with electric arcs and flashfires. Their clothing needs to deliver the highest levels of thermal protection, as well as comfort, flexibility, and breathability. 
• Engines, heavy machinery, and oil and gas exploration systems are evolving at a rapid pace. Meanwhile, the rubber parts used in these applications are subject to increasingly challenging conditions and performance standards.
• Filter systems, industrial felts and copy cleaners often operate at high temperatures and are exposed to agressive chemicals, making a high level of thermal and chemical resistance essential. 

The material’s high-performance mechanical properties – including its high tenacity type and linear densities   (0.9 - 14.4 dtex) – can be leveraged to enhance a wide range of applications.

Teijinconex® offers excellent heat resistance compared to other synthetic fibers.

With a limited oxygen index (LOI) of > 27,  Teijinconex® is inherently flameproof and heat resistant up to 400 °C (750 °F)  – a property that doesn’t diminish with repeated laundering. It doesn’t burn or melt either. So, when the heat is on, protective clothing made with  Teijinconex® performs, and won’t stick to skin.

Teijinconex® offers excellent long-term heat resistance. Because of this, it provides a longer lifetime for automotive hoses, industrial felt, filtration bags, and other products that operate in severe heat conditions.

Teijinconex® has a low thermal conductivity coefficient, with typically 0.04 - 0.05  W/mK (measured in a fabric). It means Teijinconex®-based protective clothing shields wearers from the heat of the flame, minimizing skin damage.
