1610 Aramid Filament Yarn (Tow) 100m (110yd) Reel

100m (110yd) reel of lighter 1610 dtex aramid filament yarn. Aramid fiber is a very high tenacity synthetic fiber 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® fiber manufactured by Teijin as a rival to Kevlar® and having almost identical properties. The yarn is supplied on a 100m (110yd) spool. The yarn in this listing is 1610 decitex Twaron® 2200. A 1610 decitex yarn weighs 1.61kg (57oz) per 10,000m (10936 yd).
