Aramid and carbon fiber developed with Hyosung Advanced Materials’ proprietary technology

Aramid yarn

ALKEX®, our aramid fiber was developed in 2003 with our proprietary technology and successfully commercialized in 2009. It is actively applied for bulletproofing, automotive rubber reinforcement, and many industrial purposes. We aim to become a solution provider capable of meeting the needs of various customers with diverse, differentiated products.

Key Strengths

  • 5 times stronger Than steel
  • High elastic modulus
  • High Tensile strength
  • High heat resistance, Noncombustible even at 500℃

Yarn

Aramid yarn
(Regular, high tenacity, high modulus)
Aramid yarn is a high-performance super fiber with strength that is five times that of steel as well as fire-retardant properties. Aramid yarn is used for bulletproofing, automobile hoses, belt and tire reinforcement, optical cable and rope reinforcement, civil engineering and construction, and reinforcement of composite materials.

Applications

  • Fabric
    Aramid yarn is used as a core material for bulletproof jackets, bulletproof helmets, and bulletproof vehicles.
  • Staple, Spun Yarn
    Aramid yarn has been processed into staple or spun yarn to protect against the dangers of blades and spikes.
  • Unidirectional
    Aramid yarn is processed into unidirectional fabric, which means that each filament runs in the same single direction, and each fabric layer is cross-plied at 0°/90°. It is used as a core material for bulletproof jackets, bulletproof helmets, and bulletproof vehicles.
