Do You Know About Aramid Fabrics?

Aramid fabrics (Aromatic polyamide fiber fabrics) is a kind of heat resistant and strong synthetic fiber fabric, it has strong flame retardant properties, used for aerospace and military applications, more suitable for ballistic body armor fabric with a bulletproof composites bicycle tyres and asbestos substitute.

Aramid fabrics can be well combined with other fibers.For example: aramid and viscose fiber, aramid and cotton, etc.This key feature also creates its good use.It can be made into a variety of functional fabrics.

General characteristics of aramid fiber are: good abrasion resistance, good resistance to organic solvent, non conductive, non melting point, low flammability, good fabric integrity at high temperatures, sensitivity to acid and salt, sensitive to UV radiation, etc. Aramid fabrics will not shrink, embrittlement or melt at 300 degrees in a short period of time, only to begin to carbonize at about 400 degrees, releasing only trace gases and the toxicity is almost zero.Because of its excellent flame retardancy, it is widely used in the production of fire fighting clothes.

Para aramid feature: vs aromatic polyamide fiber, such as kevlar and Twaron, provide excellent strength, high toughness, low creep performance, low elongation, difficulty in dyeing 3.5 (usually using dope dyeing).

Common aramid varieties

1. Para-fang polyamide: kevlar, Technora, Twaron, heracron, it is called aramid 1414 in China.

2. Meta aramid: Nomex (dupont's aramid brand), polyamide fiber of the eccentric group, and it is called aramid 1313 in China.

3. Other varieties: Innegra S, nylon, textiles, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, Vectran, and Aramid-IIIA flame retardant anti-static fabrics produced by Yulong Textile production in Xinxiang.

Finally, let me share with you what the aramid fabrics are usually used for:

Flame retardant clothing; High temperature protective clothing and helmet; Composite materials;Asbestos device;Hot air filtration fabric;Reinforced mechanical rubber products;Cables and cables;Fiber optic cable TV system;Sports products;A reed wind instrument;The acoustic diaphragm;Fiber concrete;Enhanced thermoplastic pipe;Skis.
