PARA ARAMID FILAMENT AND SPUN YARN
Para-aramid yarn is a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional strength, high heat and flame resistance, and low weight, widely used in protective and industrial applications. It is available from various online retailers and suppliers in different forms.
Key Properties
According to sources like ColossusTex and Barnet, para-aramid yarn exhibits the following key properties:
Exceptional Strength: It has very high tensile strength, with potency described as five times more formidable compared to steel on a per-weight basis.
Heat and Flame Resistance: Para-aramid fibers are highly resistant to heat and flames, maintaining strength and integrity even under extreme conditions. They do not melt but carbonize when exposed to fire.
Abrasion and Chemical Resistance: The yarn offers excellent resistance to abrasion, wear, acids, alkalis, and organic solvents.
Lightweight and Low Stretch: Despite its strength, it is lightweight and flexible with minimal stretch, providing stability and dimensional accuracy.
Common Applications
Due to its unique properties, para-aramid yarn is used across a wide range of challenging applications and industries:
Protective Clothing: It's a primary material for firefighter uniforms, bullet-proof vests, cut-proof gloves, and other safety gear.
Industrial Uses: It is used in ropes and cables, friction materials (replacing asbestos), and filtration fabrics.
Aerospace and Automotive: It is used in composite materials for aircraft, boats, and high-end automobiles due to its strength-to-weight ratio
