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

Ideal for high-performance applications:

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
