Recently, on the “Performance Apparels On Stage” platform at Techtextil 2026 in Frankfurt, the bio-based flame-retardant aramid workwear jointly developed by GS Biomats and Tayho stood out and was selected for its debut presentation at the Performance Apparels Live Shows. This milestone not only marks a powerful synergy of their technologies, but also showcases the strength of China’s advanced manufacturing to the global textile industry through a strong partnership.
Products chosen for the Live Shows must undergo rigorous evaluation by an expert panel, with comprehensive assessment of their performance in protection, comfort, durability, and sustainability.
Thanks to its outstanding performance, the protective garment developed by GS Biomats and Tayho secured a dedicated debut timeslot. It was also exhibited alongside leading material innovators such as BASF, making it one of the highlights of the event. GS Biomats CEO, Dr. John Zhang and the head of Tayho’s aramid business unit were present to witness this proud moment.
As a result of the deep collaboration between GS Biomats and Tayho in sustainable protective materials, the furan-based bio-aramid project has now entered large-scale validation, delivering significant breakthroughs in both performance and environmental impact:
Enhanced Overall Performance
Furan-based bio-aramid yarn offers outstanding inherent flame resistance, maintaining its protective performance even after repeated industrial laundering.
Beyond matching the core properties of conventional petroleum-based aramid, it demonstrates notable improvements in tear resistance, high-temperature stability, dyeability, and resistance to pilling and fuzzing. This achieves an optimal balance between high-level protection and wearer comfort, while significantly extending the service life of protective gear in demanding industrial environments.
The product is derived from renewable biomass, helping to reduce its carbon footprint at the source.
In addition, its inherent advantages—such as high dye uptake—significantly lower energy use and chemical consumption during downstream processing, offering a practical and scalable solution for the sustainable transformation of high-performance textiles.
This debut on the international stage in Frankfurt not only recognizes the strength of our R&D capabilities, but also marks a new starting point for GS Biomats and Tayho as they expand together into the global protective apparel market.
Looking ahead, GS Biomats will continue to advance the development of furan-based high-performance materials, delivering safer, more sustainable, and higher-performing solutions to customers worldwide—bringing the strength of China’s advanced manufacturing in protective technologies to the global stage.
