Armora

Armoring You for Safety and Comfort

Armora is our high-performance modacrylic fiber, engineered for environments where safety is a must. Developed by Aksa to provide inherent protection and versatility, it combines the natural feel of textile fibers with advanced chemical engineering to meet rigorous industrial standards. Its unique molecular structure provides permanent performance features that do not wash out or degrade over time.

Key Characteristics

· Inherent Flame Retardancy: Built-in fire protection is offered without the requirement for chemical after-treatments.

· Self-Extinguishing Performance: High limiting oxygen index (LOI) levels are maintained, ensuring the fiber stops burning once the heat source is removed.

· Durability After Washing: Protection and performance features are preserved even after repeated washing cycles.

· UV Resistance: Better UV resistance is provided compared to other flame-retardant (FR) materials.

· Chemical Resilience: Superior resistance to harsh chemicals is exhibited, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

· Blending Versatility: Non-FR blends are rendered flame-retardant through the addition of Armora. Seamless blending with natural and synthetic fibers is achieved to enhance overall comfort and performance.

· Cost-Effective Protection: High-level safety is delivered through a low-cost protective solution.

Strategic Applications

· Protective Workwear: The preferred choice for professional protective garments due to its durability against flames and chemicals without compromising comfort.

· Contract Textiles: Safety-critical applications are supported in upholstery and bedding where flame retardancy is required.

· Industrial Components: Reliable use is ensured in specialized industrial sectors requiring chemical and fire resistance.

Acryterna

Built for the Extremes

Acryterna represents Aksa’s advanced homopolymer acrylic technology, specifically engineered for complex technical applications such as hot gas filtration in power generation, cement, and limestone industries. Due to its unique chemical composition, superior and long-lasting mechanical and chemical resistance is ensured even at high temperatures.

Core Technical Advantages

· Thermal & Chemical Resistance: Designed to withstand extreme conditions, structural integrity is maintained under high heat while exceptional resistance to hydrolysis, acids, and alkalis is exhibited.

· Dimensional Stability: No dimensional changes are observed, a feature that significantly extends the service life of the final filter media.

· Mechanical Excellence: High modulus and outstanding strength values are provided, ensuring durability under pressure.

· Process Compatibility: Sustainable performance is achieved through full compliance with advanced industrial standards.

Specialized Product Range

Acryterna AT200: The use of homopolymer acrylic fiber with long-lasting mechanical resistance is ensured, specifically developed for hot gas filtration in energy, cement, and lime industries.

Acryterna AT203: A larger surface area is offered through its trilobal (three-lobed) cross-section; this structure enhances filtration performance while a more effective screening process is performed.

Acryterna AT300: A flock tow (short-cut fiber) solution is provided for reinforcing structures such as battery separators, concrete, mortar, and paint.

Key Applications

· Filtration Media: High-performance solutions are provided for hot gas filtration systems in power plants and industrial facilities.

· Reinforcement & Industrial Use:

· Use as a filler material in vehicle batteries is ensured due to high acid resistance.

· A sustainable asbestos alternative is preferred for brake linings and clutch facings.

· Crack formation in concrete and insulation applications is prevented while stability and homogeneity are increased.

· Increased strength is provided in the paper industry and the production of fast-drying, anti-crack paints for floor coatings.
