1. Aramid Manufactured Fiber

2. Description & How It’s Made
Aramid fibers are man-made high-performance fibers, with molecules that are characterized by relatively rigid polymer chains.
These molecules are linked by strong hydrogen bonds that transfer mechanical stress very efficiently, making it possible to use chains of relatively low molecular weight.

3. Advantages & Disadvantages
Strength
Abrasion Resistance
Non-conductive
No melting point
Low flammability
Not absorbent
Difficult to cut/grind without special equipment
Suffer corrosion in UV light

4. Use of Aramid Body armor Heat-protective clothing & helmets
Asbestos replacement
Tires
Ropes & Cables
Hockey Sticks
Tennis Strings

5. Cleaning & Care Aramid should never be cleaned with Bleach.
Clean with Oxy Clean instead.
