Para Aramid also known as poly(para-phenylene terephthalamide) is a standard synthetic fiber known for its high strength and flame resistant properties. Usually yellow in color, this fiber is mainly used in the composition of products related to defense such as bulletproof vests, cut-resistant gloves and ballistic body armor.
About Product
-
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 carbonise 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.
