Aramid fibre
A manufactured fibre in which the fiber-forming material is a long chain synthetic polyamide having at least 85% of its amide linkages (-NH-CO-) attached directly to two aromatic rings.
Aramid fibres exhibit low flammability, high strength, and high modulus. Fabrics made from aramid fibres maintain their integrity at high temperatures, such fabrics are used extensively in hot-air filters. Aramids are also found in protective clothing, ropes and cables, and tyre cord.
