Aramid Fiber
|
Aramid fiber (1961) is a synthetic, fire-resistant
polyamide fiber, extensively used in the aerospace and military for
structural formations, asbestos substitutes and ballistic
protection. Derivatives of the original aramid are Para-aramid
fibers, such as Kevlar (also produced as
Twaron). Military applications of
aramid fibers are in flame resistant clothing, protective vests and
helmets, and various composite materials. |
