Main Application Areas of Aramid Fibers

Share This Post

Aramid fibers play an important role in a number of key areas due to their features such as high strength, high temperature resistance, light weight and insulating properties, and the main application areas are as follows:

I. Defense and special protection

♦ Military protective equipment

  • Core material for bulletproof vests, helmets and other military equipment, realizing lightweight and high protection.

♦ Special operation protection

  • Firefighting clothing, industrial heat insulation clothing, resistant to 560 ℃ high temperature environment.

II. Industrial and High-end Manufacturing

♦ Aerospace

  • Lightweight components for aircraft/spacecraft, significantly reducing fuel costs (~$1 million savings for 1 kg weight reduction).
  • Insulation materials and cellular structure components for high-speed trains.

♦ Electronic communications

  • Fiber optic cable reinforcement protection layer, high temperature circuit substrate and electrical insulation paper.

♦ Environmental Filtration

  • High-temperature soot filtration materials for industrial dust removal.

♦ Tire and Rubber Reinforcement

  • Enhance tire abrasion resistance and safety.

III.Emerging Technologies

♦ New energy battery protection

Power battery case impact-resistant layer materials, reconstructing the battery safety design.

♦ Composite material application

Composite with resin to make lightweight and high-strength structural parts, used in automotive, construction and other fields
