Aramid fiber is a high-performance synthetic material belonging to the category of aromatic polyamide fibers, with the following core characteristics:

♦ Material characteristics

  • High strength and high modulus:

The strength is 5-6 times that of steel wire, the modulus can reach 2-3 times that of steel wire, and the density is only one-fifth of steel, achieving lightweight performance.

  • High temperature resistance and corrosion resistance:

It can withstand high temperatures of 560 ℃ without decomposition or melting, and is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion.

  • Versatility:

It has low thermal conductivity, low dielectric constant, insulation and anti-aging characteristics, and is suitable for extreme environments.

♦ Main types

  • Meta aramid (such as Nomex):

Using meta phenylenediamine and meta phenylenediacyl chloride as raw materials, it is commonly used in high-temperature protective clothing, electrical insulation materials, and other fields.

  • Para aramid (such as Kevlar, Twaron):

Using p-phenylenediamine and p-phenylenediacyl chloride as raw materials, it is commonly used in bulletproof equipment, aerospace composite materials, etc.

♦ Application Fields

  • Industry and Military Industry:

Bullet proof vests, rocket components, spacecraft flag fabrics (such as displaying the national flag on the moon).

  • Civilian products:

High end phone cases (such as PITAKA brand), brake pads (improved high-temperature friction coefficient by adding aramid fibers).

  • Emerging technologies:

Aramid aerogel material, used for heat insulation, sound insulation and electronic equipment
