The fibres are distinguished by their high stability, high impact strength, high breaking elongation, good vibration damping properties and resistance to acidic and alkaline solutions and is therefore heat- and fire resistant. Aramid fibres don’t melt at elevated temperatures, but begin to carbonize at the temperature of 400° C. This material in form of tapes, cords or sleeves can be used when highest demands and security are required.
