| Description |
PAN (Polyacrylonitrile) shortcut fibers usually cut between 2 and 12mm are mainly used as reinforcement fiber in the construction sector. Because of it is UV stability, good chemical resistance and the abrasive surface is PAN perfectly qualified as a filling fiber for plaster, cement and any other kind of reinforced structure. Besides that it’s naturally suited for wetlaid nonwovens, especially in the filtration sector. |

Automotive, Textile, Paper, Construction, Rubber, Industrial, PPE/Apparel, Equestrian, Public Transportation, Filtration |
| Cut Length |
3-20 mm (Less than 3mm (0.25-3mm) – Other cut lengths and titers on request) |
| Form |
Shortcut Fiber |
| Notes |
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN), also known as polyvinyl cyanide, is a synthetic, partially crystalline organic polymer resin. It is used in the form of a homopolymer in the field of filtration due to its very good chemical resistance. As a copolymer it is used as a fiber in the textile industry, especially for clothing and home textiles due to its good heat retention and wool-like character. PAN is thermally very resistant as well as against weathering and solar radiation. It is often used as a low-cost alternative to aramid, where the application allows it. Since the decomposition temperature is significantly lower than the melting temperature, only the carbon skeleton is present at about 150 °C. This makes PAN suitable as a precursor to produce carbon fibers. |
