What are Aramid Fibers?

• Molecular structure made of linked Benzene rings
  and amide bonds
• Para-type
• Meta-type

TECHNORA co-poly-(paraphenylene/3,4'-oxydiphenyl
ene terephthalamide)
TWARON  poly-(paraphenylene terephthalamide)
(PPTA)
TEIJINCONEX poly-(metaphenylene isophthalamide)
(MPIA)

Para-Type

• Known for superior tensile strength and
  elasticity
• Tensile strength 2.5 times of (strength type)
  nylon fibers.
• High impact resistance
• Fatigue resistance
• High tensile modulus
• Chemical resistance
• Heat resistance

Products

• Made from Para-type

Chopped fiber(Short cut fiber)
Filament yarn
Staple fiber
Spunnized yarn

Applications

• Rope, Cable, and Cord
• Rubber materials
• Construction
• Reinforcement of plastics
• Safety Materials

Meta-Type (My Favorite)

• Very Heat Resistance
• Do not ignite
• Wont melt

Blast Inhibitors

Cool Products

• Pioneer speakers
• long stands of Aramid fibers into the mix, along
  with the polypropylene and carbon and Rigilite
• makes the cone more dense, much stronger, and
  even more durable
• More powerful bass. Rich, full-bodied sound
  character with excellent midrange depth.
• The open, natural sound found in paper cones (but
  without the fragility of paper).
• Durability. The cones stand up to high power
  levels and the tough conditions within a car,
  such as temperature extremes and humidity, that
  will thrash weaker speakers.
