Description
- Good tensile strength
- High E-modulus provides specific tenacity exceeding steel fibers by many times
- Used at 1200°F / 648°C continuous, maintains integrity at temperatures up to 1800°F / 982°C
- Low elongation under load
- No carcinogenic risks
- Easily manufactured in various tex values from 68 to 4800
- Will not split longitudinally
- Inert, corrosion-resistant and non-toxic
- Very high resistance to chemicals, alkaline, acid and solvents
- Immune to nuclear radiation, UV light and biologic contamination
- Good elasticity and fatigue resistance
- Low friction coefficient
- Superior performance as an automotive muffler filler, delivering intense heat and sound absorption
- Continuous strand reinforcement for composites to improve integral strength and provide high temperature tolerance
- Specialty woven fabrics for fire protection and containment
- High-pressure/high-temperature pipeline and vessel reinforcement
- Can be cut into various strand lengths for remanufacture into value-added products
- Immunity to radiation makes it ideal for insulation applications in nuclear power generation plants and x-ray apparatus
