FAQ
-
Meta-aramid fibres are manufactured by polycondensation and spun using a dry spinning process.
-
Meta-aramid is a modified aromatic polyamide. Its chemical structure gives it high thermal and flame-resistant properties.
-
Yes. Meta-aramid fibres are inherently flame-retardant, self-extinguishing and non-melting.
-
No. Meta-aramid does not melt. At high temperatures it decomposes rather than forming molten droplets.
-
Meta-aramid provides continuous temperature resistance up to approximately 220°C. The decomposition temperature is around 370°C.
-
Meta-aramid shows good resistance to acids and alkalis, making it suitable for chemically demanding environments.
-
Yes. It offers high resistance to fungi and bacteria.
-
Meta-aramid has good abrasion resistance, supporting durability in protective applications.
-
Meta-aramid threads are commonly used in flame-protective clothing, heat-resistant workwear, firefighter garments and other technical safety applications.
-
Because it combines flame resistance, non-melting behaviour, thermal stability and chemical resistance, making it ideal for safety-critical textiles.
