Meta-Aramid: The Ultimate Thermal Shield
OVERVIEW :
Meta-Aramid is a high-performance manufactured fiber known for its outstanding heat and flame resistance. It does not ignite, melt, or drip under extreme heat, making it the gold standard for protective industrial clothing and high-temperature filtration.
Core advantages:
- Permanent Flame Retardancy: The protection is built into the fiber’s molecular structure and won't wash out or wear away.
- High Thermal Stability: Maintains its mechanical properties at continuous temperatures up to 200°C.
- Chemical Integrity: Highly resistant to most organic solvents, acids, and alkalis.
- Electric Insulation: Naturally high dielectric strength, perfect for electrical paper and insulation.
Main Applications:
- Fire & Safety: Professional firefighting suits and military flight suits.
- Industrial: Hot gas filtration bags for cement and steel plants.
- Automotive: Turbocharger hoses and high-temperature gaskets.
- Electrical: High-grade insulation paper for motors and transformers.
