• Uses

flame-resistant clothing (for example, military MIL-G-181188B suits).

heat-protective clothing and helmets

body armor, competing with PE-based fiber products such as and Spectra

composite materials

asbestos replacement (e.g. brake linings)

hot air filtration fabrics

tires, newly as Sulfron (sulfur-modified Twaron)

tennis strings (e.g. by Ashaway and Prince tennis companies)

hockey sticks (normally in composition with such materials as wood and carbon)

snowboards

jet engine enclosures

Fishing Reel Drag systems

Asphalt reinforcement

Prusiks for rock climbers (which slide along the main rope and can otherwise melt due to friction).

• Other Types Of Aramids

Besides meta-aramids like Nomex, other variations belong to the aramid fiber range. These are mainly of the copolyamide type, best known under the brand name Technora, as developed by Teijin and introduced in 1976. The manufacturing process of Technora reacts PPD and 3,4'-diaminodiphenylether (3,4'-ODA) with terephthaloyl chloride (TCl). This relatively simple process uses only one amide solvent, and therefore spinning can be done directly after the polymer production.

• Commercial Applications

Aromatic polyamides were first introduced in commercial applications in the early 1960s, with a meta-aramid fiber produced by DuPont as HT-1 and then under the trade name Nomex. This fiber, which handles similarly to normal textile apparel fibers, is characterized by its excellent resistance to heat, as it neither melts nor ignites in normal levels of oxygen. It is used extensively in the production of protective apparel, air filtration, thermal and electrical insulation, as well as a substitute for asbestos.
