| 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 para-aramid fibers are used for strength, impact resistance, and abrasion resistance. |
| Cut Length |
1/8” (3mm); other lengths available upon request |
