High Performance Fiber - Aramid Fiber

Aramid has many advantages. It has good mechanical properties. It has excellent elongation. It is an excellent auxiliary material for garments of different fabrics. Kevlar also has excellent flame retardancy and heat resistance. The limiting oxygen index is greater than 28, at a high temperature of 205 degrees. It can also be used continuously; it also has stable chemical properties, excellent alkali resistance, and also has the characteristics of radiation resistance and durability.

Because of its many high-energy characteristics, aromatic polyamide fibers have been widely used. In 2014, the global aramid production capacity totaled 120,200 tons, of which, the counter-aramide production capacity was 76,800 tons, and the meta-aramide production capacity was 43,400 tons. It is expected that by 2020, the world demand for aramid fiber will reach 220,000 tons. The consumer regions are mainly concentrated in North America, Europe, Japan, and China. The safety materials it makes are also increasing year by year. They are mainly used in the fields of filter materials, indoor optical cables, friction seals and rubber.
