ACMA00031776 |
| Description |
A manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is a long-chain synthetic polyamide in which 85% of the amide linkages are attached directly to two aromatic rings |
| Application |
Short cut meta-aramid fibers are used for heat resistance and flame retardance. |
| Cut Length |
7mm |
| Feature |
Dispersion: Easily dispersed in aqueous and non-aqueous systems. Surface treatment to aid dispersion applied as required. |

| Specification |
Standard Filament Sizes: 2.7 denier per filament (dpf) |
| Specific Gravity |
1.37 to 1.38 g/cm³ |
| Stability |
Chemical Reactivity: Unaffected by most acids, except for some strength loss after long exposure to hydrochloric, nitric, or sulfuric acids. Generally good resistance to alkalis. Unaffected by most bleaches and solvents, except for some strength loss from exposure to sodium chlorite. |
| Tenacity |
2.6 to 5.0 gpd |
| Thermal Resist |
Effect of Heat: Does not melt. Does not propogate flame. Decomposes at 700°F. At about 800°F, carbonizes and forms a tough char. |
