Tokyo, Japan, March 10, 2014 --- The Teijin group announced today that Toho Tenax Europe GmbH, the group's core carbon-fibers business, and Teijin Aramid, the group's core aramid-fibers business, will exhibit high-performance fiber products at JEC Europe 2014.

JEC Europe, the world's largest composites industry organization with a network of 250,000 professionals from 100 countries, will manage the annual show in Paris from March 11 to 13.

The Toho Tenax booth (7.3K17) will feature TENAX carbon fiber filament yarn with tailored sizing for new thermoplastic and high-temperature applications. Also on display will be two new short fiber types - TENAX -E HTS45 P12 12K 800tex and TENAX -E IMS65 P12 24K 830tex - which will be launched globally this year and produced by Toho Tenax in Oberbruch, Germany.

Toho Tenax will additionally present two semi-finished TENAX ThermoPlastics - ThermoPlastic UniDirectional (TPUD) and ThermoPlastic Consolidated Laminate (TPCL) - as well as structural and design components made of TENAX Part using preform technology.

The Teijin Aramid booth (7.3K18) will showcase Twaron and Twaron black, the first high-modulus black para-aramid yarn. Composite materials based on Twaron , Technora or Endumax offer attractive energy-saving and eco-minded solutions. Twaron or Technora are used whenever stiffness, strength, excellent damage tolerance and great aesthetics are required, e.g. in boat hulls and sails, hockey sticks, motorcycle helmets and other sporting goods. Other applications for aramid and UHMWPE composites, such as concrete reinforcement, speaker cones, mobile phone casings, rods for circuit breakers or laminates for ballistic protection will also be presented.
