Leading industry suppliers in the offshore industry select Twaron and Technora to reduce costs and cut installation times while, at the same time, improving product performance and extending product lifetime.

UNIQUE PRODUCT PROPERTIES


Twaron and Technora offer excellent mechanical properties, like high tenacity, high modulus, resistance to high temperatures and good fatigue resistance. These properties are achieved at relatively low weight. Furthermore, they are very resistant to all sorts of chemical influences.

REINFORCEMENT FOR ROPES AND CABLES



This unique combination of properties makes Twaron and Technora the materials of choice for high performance ropes and cables with advantages over both synthetic yarns and steel.

REINFORCED THERMOPLASTIC PIPES



Twaron Teinforced Thermoplastic Pipes (RTP) are characterized by their corrosion resistance, high-pressure rating, low weight and high flexibility. Combined with the availability on long lengths, reliable coupling, superior UV resistance and high durability, Twaron RTPs offer a state-of-the-art pipeline solution in applications for transport of oil, gas and water.

DEEPWATER DEVELOPMENT



Besides ropes and cables and RTPs, Twaron and Technora are excellently suited to reinforce the broad range of deepwater equipment such as umbilicals, flowlines, straps, slings, optical fiber cables and mooring lines.
