Usage

Description

Aramid fibers, also known as aromatic polyamides, are high-performance synthetic fibers known for their exceptional strength, heat resistance, and versatility. They possess a unique combination of properties, including high specific tensile strength, environmental and thermal stability, and resistance to static and dynamic fatigue, as well as impact resistance.

Uses

Used in Tire Reinforcement:
Aramid fibers are used as reinforcement materials for tires, hoses, and belting, such as V-belts and conveyor belts, due to their excellent wear resistance and near-isotropic properties. This application is particularly relevant for the Kevlar grade of aramid fibers, which is specifically designed for this purpose.
Used in Aramid-reinforced Thermoplastic Composites:
Aramid fibers are used as reinforcement in aramid-reinforced thermoplastic composites for their superior wear resistance and near-isotropic properties. These composites offer advantages over glass or carbon-reinforced composites, making them suitable for various industrial applications.
Used in Various Grades and Property Levels:
Aramid fiber, trade-named Kevlar, is available in several grades and property levels, catering to specific applications. This versatility allows aramid fibers to be tailored to meet the unique requirements of different industries and applications.
