1500D high strength Aramid Filament Fiber
Material: 100% para aramid
What is aramid fiber or aramid yarn? Rigid, straight, and insoluble, aramid molecules are ideal for spinning into high-performance synthetic fibers. They obtain their strength from strong bonding between relatively short molecules, transferring mechanical stress rather efficiently. And, when it comes to protecting the human body, these durable, high-performance fibers are excellent for use in FR clothing, cut-resistant gloves, and aprons. The bright yellow color shown above has become a trademark of this iconic fiber!
Here are some of the characteristics of aramid fibers that make them ideal for PPE:
Excellent heat and flame resistance – Aramid fibers are flame retardant, heat-resistant, and do not melt or ignite under extreme conditions up to >500°C. These features ensure good fabric integrity at increased temperatures.
Outstanding strength – Aramid fibers outperform steel and glass fibers of equal weight in terms of mechanical properties. They offer exceptional resistance to abrasion and cutting. High chemical resistance – Aramid fibers provide better resistance against flashover and chemical splash because they are 100% synthetic. Their chemical resistance is excellent around organic solvents.
Nonconductive – Aramid fibers are an excellent overall insulator, as they don't conduct electricity.
Keep in mind, as with all things, there are not only strengths to aramid fibers, there are weaknesses, too. Here are some to consider:
Aramids are sensitive to acids, bases, and chlorine. You have to launder products made from aramids differently than other textiles.
Aramids are sensitive to ultraviolet radiation. This is why our aramid products come in a black bag to protect them from ultraviolet light.
The main application of the filament:
Making aramid UD fabric and aramid woven fabric for bullets and fragments protection in ballistic field.
Aramid filament sewing thread for protecting clothes
Electronic communication field
Safety ropes
Conveyor belt
