1. Tensile Strength:
Para-aramid fibers exhibit exceptional tensile strength, often exceeding 3,000 MPa. This high strength makes them well-suited for applications requiring robust and durable materials.
2. Modulus of Elasticity:
2. Modulus of Elasticity:
With a high modulus of elasticity typically ranging between 70-130 GPa, para-aramid fibers display excellent resistance to deformation under stress, contributing to their structural stability.
3. Heat Resistance :
3. Heat Resistance :
Para-aramid fibers demonstrate remarkable heat resistance, with a decomposition temperature surpassing 500°C.
This property enables their use in high-temperature environments.
4. Chemical Stability:
This property enables their use in high-temperature environments.
4. Chemical Stability:
These fibers exhibit good resistance to chemicals, acids, and alkalis, enhancing their durability in various industrial and corrosive environments.
5. Low Flammability:
Para-aramid fibers possess inherent flame resistance, characterized by a high Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI). This feature minimizes the risk of combustion, making them ideal for flame-retardant applications.
