iTextiles is proud to introduce ARAWIN®, a high-performance meta-aramid fiber developed by Toray Advanced Materials Korea (TAK), to the Pakistani market — now available exclusively through iTextiles®.Engineered for applications where flame resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical durability are non-negotiable, ARAWIN® sets a new standard for protective and industrial textile solutions. Unlike conventional aramids, ARAWIN® is produced using a dry spinning process, resulting in fibers with a dog-bone cross-section, smooth surface, and void-free internal structure. These attributes improve spinnability, physical strength, whiteness, and dyeability, making it ideal for converting into performance textiles.
At its core, ARAWIN® is a poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide) fiber — a meta-type aramid with a flexible molecular chain structure. Its inherent flame retardancy (without the need for chemical treatments) and a thermal decomposition point exceeding 400°C make it particularly well-suited for:
• Firefighting suits and flame-resistant workwear.
• Military and law enforcement uniforms.
• Racing gear and industrial protective apparel.
• Automotive hoses and composite reinforcements.
Available in both staple fiber and filament yarn, ARAWIN® adapts to a variety of textile manufacturing processes while maintaining its integrity under high-stress, high-heat environments. Its easy dyeability and consistent quality make it a preferred solution for manufacturers looking to meet both technical standards and aesthetic requirements in performance wear.
While its insulating paper variant also finds use in electrical components like motors and transformers, the core strength of ARAWIN® lies in its ability to enhance textile-based safety applications.
The first official shipment of ARAWIN® has now been successfully executed in Pakistan by iTextiles®, enabling local manufacturers to gain direct access to one of the world’s most advanced heat- and flame-resistant materials.With the exclusive distribution of ARAWIN® in Pakistan, iTextiles® reinforces its commitment to delivering innovative and globally trusted materials to local industries, supporting a safer, higher performing future for Pakistan’s textile sector.
