History
Technora® was first made commercially available in 1987.
Composition
Technora® is an aromatic copolyamide that has a highly oriented molecular structure, consisting of both para and meta linkages. Technora is produced by condensation polymerization of different copolymers, yielding a high modulus, low creep, and thermally stable fiber.
