Les aramides. Ces fibres ont trouvé leur place dans le domaine du tissu technique [...] aussi bien au développement de nouvelles technologies [...] qu'au besoin accru en matière de sécurité. [...] Sur le plan thermique [...] elles carbonisent à 500 °C. [...] Leur conductibilité thermique est faible et ce sont donc de bons isolants. [...] Sur le plan chimique, ces aramides ont une bonne résistance à la plupart des solvants organiques. Leur résistance aux bases et aux acides est assez moyenne. [...] Domaines d'applications. - Protection : gilet pare-balles, casques, blindages, vêtements de protection, gants. - Cordages et câbles : ancrage de plateformes, levage, haubans, câbles, cordages nautiques [...] 6, record 3, French, - fibre%20aramide
