What is Aramid?
Aramid fibres are a class of high-density synthetic fibres. Aramid handles similarly to normal textile fibres, and is characterized by excellent resistance to heat. It is also extremely strong, with a higher tensile strength than spun steel. Aramid is used extensively in aerospace and military applications, and can be found in flame resistant and heat protective clothing, ballistic rated body armour, ropes and cables, as well as thermal and electrical insulation.
Aramid Demonstrate
- No melting point – degradation starts at 500 degrees Celsius
- Low flammability
- High tenacity
- Good resistance to abrasion
- Good resistance to organic solvents
- Non conductive
