Aramid fiber is an aromatic polyamide, better known by the trademark, Kevlar^®. Kevlar^® aramid fiber is a high strength, intermediate modulus, organic fiber. Its high tenacity and low thermal shrinkage make it similar to S glass. It is inherently flame resistant and self-extinguishing, charring at 800ºF (425ºC). Fabrics woven of Kevlar^® aramid fiber combine very high strenth-to-weight properties with excellent abrasion and cut resistance. They exhibit good environmental stability, retaining useful properties over a wide range of temperatures, and offering good chemical resistance to most weak acids and alkalis, ketones, alcohols, hydrocarbons, oils and dry cleaning solvents.
