Aksa Akrilik was established in Yalova in 1968 and is the world's largest acrylic fiber producer. MITHRA, Turkey's First Domestic and High Performance UHMWPE Fiber, is a strategic step in the defense industry. Developed with its own in-house R&D and engineering infrastructure, MITHRA is a fully integrated structure in which the entire production process from fiber to UD (Unidirectional) fabric will be carried out in-house and is specially designed for applications such as body armor, land-naval-air vehicle platforms and ballistic composite systems.
MITHRA is a strategic move that brings AKSA's deep-rooted experience in chemistry and fiber technologies to the defense industry. Mithra UHMWPE fiber, produced in-house using its R&D and engineering infrastructure, is the first high-performance advanced material in this field in Turkey. PE (Unidirectional) ballistic fabrics produced using MITHRA fibers are specifically designed for applications of Body Protective Composite Armors; Land, Sea, and Air Vehicle Platforms, and Ballistic Composite Systems. Mithra UD fabrics stand out with their high strength, lightweight, and performance characteristics for both hard and soft ballistic solutions.
