What's the aramid fiber used for ? what's the applicaiton of aramid fiber ?
Aramid fibers are divided into aramid yarn, aramid pulp, chopped aramid fibers, etc. Different types can be applied to different industries.
The application of aramid fibers is very extensive, covering multiple fields such as industry, electronics and electrical, sports equipment, and shipbuilding.
Industrial application: In the industrial field, aramid staple fibers are mainly used to make various filter materials. They are widely used in high-temperature flues and hot air filtration in chemical plants, power plants, cement plants, coking plants, etc. They can resist the chemical corrosion of harmful smoke, effectively remove dust and recover precious metals1.
Electronic and electrical fields: Aramid fibers can be used to make reinforcing materials in optical fiber processing due to their high strength and wear resistance, to prevent deformation of optical fibers under tension and affect optical transmission; in electronic and electrical equipment, aramid staple fibers can be used in brakes, clutches, circuit breakers and other components. Their wear-resistant and non-abrasive surface characteristics improve the durability and performance of the equipment.
Sports equipment: Aramid fibers are also widely used in the manufacture of sports equipment, such as golf clubs, tennis rackets, skis, bobsleighs, javelins, etc., as well as hiking boots, boxing gloves, racing helmets, etc., which are used in demanding sports conditions. Due to their light weight and high strength, they improve the performance and safety of sports equipment1.
Shipbuilding: Aramid fiber composite materials are used in the shipbuilding industry because of their light weight, strong ability to absorb vibration and withstand continuous impact, to reduce the weight of the hull, save fuel, increase the range, and improve the comfort of the ship1.
Other applications: Aramid fibers can also be used to manufacture cables for seagoing vessels and deep oil wells. In addition, the high temperature resistance of aramid fibers allows them to remain unchanged for more than 10 years at 220 degrees, and will not decompose or melt at 560 degrees. They have good insulation and anti-aging properties and a long life cycle2.
The application of aramid staple fibers not only reflects its importance and value in various industries, but also demonstrates its wide application prospects as a high-performance material.
