Attributes
Para Aramid also known as poly(para-phenylene terephthalamide)is a standard synthetic fiber known for its high strength and flame resistant properties.
Key attributes of para aramid are as follows :
- High Tensile Strength : High strength, high modulus and tenacity make it suitable for the ballistic application. On a weight-for-weight basis, it is 5 times as strong as steel, 10 times as strong as aluminum.
- Excellent Temperature Stability : The fiber showcases phenomenal stability for prolonged periods in extreme temperatures ranging from -196 degree Celsius to 427 degree Celsius.
- High Melting Point : The fiber doesn't melt but will start to carbonize around 427 degree Celsius.
- Chemical Resistance : It is resistant to acids and alkalis except for few strong ones.
- Lightweight : The product is lightweight making it suitable to carry out daily operations.
