Aramid fabrics
Aramid fabrics, also known under the trade name Kevlar® or Nomex®, are heat resistant up to +/- 250°C. They allow the thermal and sound insulation of materials used in several fields and their use is very widespread in ballistic applications.
Aramid fabric is composed of fibers that maintain excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures. They can replace glass fibers and metal and find their applications in tires, ropes, bulletproof vests and special materials intended for industry.
- Low thermal expansion
- High tensile strength
- Good chemical and abrasion resistance
- Great strength
- Aeronautics/Aerospace
- Shipbuilding/Military/Ballistics
- Automotive (Belts…)
- Sport/Ski slope/Boating

TA1200-2-SI | REGENERATED PARA ARAMID + 2 BLACK SILICONE SIDES | 1200 | 1000 | 50 | Twill 2/2 | 1.9 |
Polyurethane coated aramid fabrics
These aramid fabrics have a polyurethane coating applied to their surface in order to modify their technical characteristics and appearance. The coating gives them the following characteristics: stain resistance, waterproofing, abrasion resistance, antistatic, etc.
