Yarn

Aramid Yarn
(Regular, High Tenacity, High Modulus)
Aramid Yarn is a high-performance super fiber that has strength that is five times that of steel as well as fire-retardant properties. Aramid Yarn is used for bulletproofing, automobile hoses, belt and tire reinforcement, optical cable and rope reinforcement, civil engineering and construction, and reinforcement of composite materials.

Applications

  • Fabric
    Aramid Yarn is used as a core material for bulletproof jackets, bulletproof helmets, and bulletproof vehicles.
  • Staple, Spun Yarn
    Aramid yarn has been processed into staple or spun yarn to protect against the dangers of blades and spikes.
  • Uni-directional
    Aramid yarn is processed into Uni-directional fabric made of each filament running in the same single direction and each fabric layer is cross-plied at 0°/90°. It is used as a core material for bulletproof jackets, bulletproof helmets, and bulletproof vehicles.
