Aramid yarn is a high-functioning super fiber with five times the tensile strength of steel and flame resistance.
Also known as the “Golden yarn” due to its light golden color,
aramid yarn is used for bulletproof vests and flame-resistant clothing to prevent loss of lives and
accidents with its strength and fire retardant properties that even bullets can't go through.
It is suitable for “protection” and “reinforcement” due to being sturdy yet lightweight and
durable yet flexible that it could even be qualified to make capes to protect superheroes in movies.
HS HYOSUNG ADVANCED MATERIALS makes immense efforts in diverse ways for stable supply and
market expansion of the super fiber we have developed which is widely used in various industrial sectors,
including defense, automobiles, communication, and construction.
Aramid yarn, a high-strength fiber, is mainly used as a powerful reinforcement material in safety equipment, bulletproof vests, aircraft, automobiles, etc. It excels in heat, chemical resistance,
friction and physical impact, possessing exceptional mechanical stability and durability. Additionally, it has a low density and high tensile strength, effectively contributing to its lightweightness and increased stiffness.
Particularly, the para-aramid produced by HS HYOSUNG ADVANCED MATERIALS is used in bulletproof vests, helmets and protective gloves due to its high strength.
This demonstrates excellent ballistic and armor solutions making it stand out not only in general industries but also in the defense industry.

HS HYOSUNG ADVANCED MATERIALS launched “ALKEX®”, an aramid yarn brand, in 2009 after starting development with our proprietary technology in 2003.
“ALKEX®” is a para-aramid yarn with five times the tensile strength of steel.
The powerful tensile strength that even bullets can’t pass through and the resistance against over 500°C of high temperature are considered to be its advantages.
Aramid yarn is used as a core material of bulletproof vests and helmets, armored vehicles, and protective gloves to minimize the loss of lives and harm from guns. It is also used in other industrial areas including aerospace, automobiles, and sporting goods.
The strong tensile strength and lightweight properties of aramid reinforce fiber optic cables and ropes prevent damage during installation and operations.
Used as reinforcement in tires, hoses and belts, enhancing strength and abrasion resistance while providing high dimensional stability
The staple is a raw material for making spun yarn. Industrial gloves made with aramid yarn provide protection from the dangers of working with sharp objects or hot objects.
Composite materials incorporating aramid are applied in plastic materials and concrete rebar, providing robustness and safety.
* Rebar (short for reinforcing bar)
HS HYOSUNG ADVANCED MATERIALS is not satisfied with just quickly responding to the growing demands for aramid fiber.
We’re continuing research and development, production, and sales activities with a focus on observing what customers want.
Developed in 2003 with our proprietary technology and successfully commercialized in 2009
