Properties of Armos para-aramid fibres in conditions of use. Comparison with other para-aramids

The mechanical, thermal, and hygroscopic properties of Armos fibres and thread and their resistance to active media and other effects during use were analyzed. In comparing the structure and properties of Armos with other types of para-aramid fibres and thread, it was found that in the para-aramid series, Armos is distinguished by a unique combination of strength and flame resistance. Armos is a promising material for use in articles operating in conditions of exposure to high tensile loads and/or high temperatures.
