Aramid yarn have 5~6 times higher strength than steel and 2~3 times higher modulus than glass fiber. Due to its high strength and low density as well as super heat resistance, chemical stability character, it’s a key material in safety protection products, firefighting uniforms, flame-retardant and protective clothing, filtration field, and various industries where strength, durability and protection are crucial.

Q1: What is aramid yarn and what are its main industrial uses?
Aramid yarn is a heat-resistant, high-strength synthetic fiber used in aerospace, army, defense, and protective clothing. It’s ideal for fire-resistant garments, bulletproof vests, and industrial belts.
Q2: Is aramid yarn heat-resistant and flame-retardant?
Yes, aramid fibers have inherent flame resistance and do not melt, making them suitable for extreme temperature environments.
Q3: Where can I buy high-strength aramid yarn in Europe?
Blion Yarn supplies high-strength aramid yarn in Europe for technical textiles, safety gear, and specialty industrial products.
Q4: How does aramid yarn compare to Kevlar in strength and durability?
Kevlar is a branded type of aramid yarn known for exceptional tensile strength and durability; other aramids offer similar benefits with slight differences in thermal and chemical resistance.
