Teijinconex is the brandname of Teijin for a meta-aramid fiber.
Teijinconex meta-aramid fibers are best known for their combination of heat resistance and strength. In addition, m-aramid fibers do not ignite, melt or drip, which is a major reason for their success in the fireproof apparel market. In comparison to commodity fibers, m-aramids offer better long-term retention of mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. M-aramids have a relatively soft hand and tend to process very similarly to commodity fibers, giving them a wide range of converted products.
Definition
Teijinconex is a meta-linked aromatic polyamide fiber known for its heat resistance. Teijinconex is a synthetic organic fiber consisting of polymetaphenylene isophthalic amide, which is formed by the reaction from meta-phenylenediamine and isophthaloyl chloride.
Teijinconex does not melt in air, and offers excellent flame and combustion resistance. Teijinconex begins to decompose and carbonize at 400°C and has an LOI (|Limiting Oxygen Index) of 30. It is a white, highly functional fiber that can be used from clothing to industrial materials.
The following properties characterize Teijinconex:
- Resistant to high temperatures
- Inherently flame retardant
- Can be used in a wide range of temperatures
