Oliver Haiqing Hua, a textile business analyst, has joined the Innovation in Textiles team to give periodic insider reports on developments within the Chinese textile industry.

Yantai Tayho Advanced materials Co., Ltd (Yantai Tayho) has revealed that the high performance fibre used for the domestic police war training service is mainly aramid. Yantai Tayho’s brand Tametar aramid has been used in all the newly designed public security police and armed police Special Forces Service uniforms.

The company has a plan to gradually promote its aramid products to other military units and police units for their protection equipment upgrading. The company also stressed that it will also use a related production line for the clothing production with aramid.

Future plans

According to an earlier report , Yantai Tayho aramid paper products have already been successfully applied in domestic helicopters and UAVs. In the future, the company plans to gradually radiate to all domestic models including fighters and large aircraft.

Currently,  Tayho aramid paper is mainly applied in the transformer industry for power transmission and transformation equipment.

 It also can be used for motors, high temperature resistant motors (mainly in the mining industry), traction motors (used in the High-speed Rail), electronics, and household appliances.

Increasing capacity

Yantai Tayho’s main products include spandex, para aramid, and MPIA aramid. The company expects to create 10,000 tons of spandex capacity which will be put into production in the fourth quarter of this year.

With regards to para aramid, the volume is small and the cost is high, so the company will carry out capacity expansion on its spinning line this year to achieve a slight increase based on the existing capacity of 1000 tons.

Yantai Tayho

Yantai Tayho is located in the seaside city of Yantai, which is among the first of several open coastal cities in China. The company covers an area of 260,000 square metres, and owns total assets of more than 2 billion, and has more than 1200 employees.

Tayho’s products range from spandex, meta-aramid, para-aramid to chemicals, making it the largest hitech and newtech fibre production base in China.

Incorporated from Yantai Spandex Plant, the first special fibre enterprise in China, Yantai Tayho specialises in the R&D and production of high-tech fibres. The company is a state level new and high technology enterprise, approved as one of the 520 key enterprises in the country. In 2008, the company was listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange (Code 002254).
