Aramid fibers exhibit low flammability, high strength, and high modulus. Fabrics made from aramid fibers maintain their integrity at high temperatures; such fabrics are used extensively in hot-air filters.

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 1, French, - fibre%20aramide

... a wholly man-made advanced composite has joined the ranks of advanced aircraft structure materials. It is man-made in that both the resin matrix and the reinforcing fibre are synthetic polymers. The fibre in question is known as an aromatic polyamide ("aramid" for short) and it is an outgrowth of nylon technology. The only such fibre currently available commercially is Du Pont "Kevlar", originally developed as a stronger alternative to steel for vehicle tyre reinforcement. 4, record 4, English, - aromatic%20polyamide

Un nouveau matériau composite, entièrement synthétique celui-là, a fait son apparition en aviation. La fibre est un polyamide aromatique, désigné en anglais par le terme aramid (contraction de aromatic polyamide), dont la technologie dérive de celle du nylon. La seule fibre de ce type commercialisée jusqu'à présent est le Kevlar de la société DuPont, qui l'a mise au point à l'origine pour remplacer par un matériau plus robuste l'acier utilisé pour le renforcement des pneumatiques. 4, record 4, French, - polyamide%20aromatique
