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.

Mithra

Go Lighter, Reach Further

By leveraging over half a century of expertise in chemical engineering and fiber technology, Aksa presents MITHRA—Turkey’s first high-performance UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) fiber. Combining extreme strength with unmatched lightweight properties, MITHRA represents a strategic leap in advanced material science, specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern marine and industrial environments.

The Peak of Maritime Durability

Despite being significantly stronger than steel, MITHRA fiber is light enough to float on water, offering an ideal strength-to-weight ratio for critical maritime applications.

Mithra’s outstanding chemical resistance safeguards against rust and degradation, ensuring prolonged durability in demanding environments. With superior resistance to both chemicals and UV rays, Mithra maintains its integrity under tough conditions. Its hydrophobic properties also prevent water absorption, keeping the fiber lightweight and preserving peak performance throughout its lifespan.

Key Applications:

• Fishing Cages
• Mooring Lines,
• Sailing Ropes
