Technora

Technora is the brandname of Teijin for a aromatic copolyamid.

Production process

The manufacturing process of Technora reacts PPD and 3,4'-diaminodiphenylether (3,4'-ODA) with terephtaloyl chloride (TCl). ^[1] This relatively simple process uses only one amide solvent and therefore spinning can be done directly after the polymer production.
