Akzo-Fibres offre depuis peu des fils et fibres de polyétherimide. D'un poids spécifique de 1,28, les propriétés de cette fibre ne se situent pas dans une forte résistance à la rupture, 19 à 27 cN/tex, mais dans ses caractéristiques thermiques et chimiques. [...] Les fibres [...] ont de bonnes propriétés textiles et peuvent être retordues et texturées. Les premières applications envisagées sont dans la filtration de gaz chauds et [...] dans la préparation des fils hybrides entrant dans la fabrication de composites. 1, record 2, French, - fibre%20de%20poly%C3%A9therimide
