Aramid flame-retardant racing suit - a benchmark in motorsports safety
May 12,2025

Aramid flame-retardant fabric used in racing suits
In top-tier events such as F1 and WRC, car fires result in an average of 3-5 serious burns annually. In the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix, Romain Grosjean's car caught fire after a crash. His racing suit withstood the high temperatures for 28 seconds, giving him valuable time to escape. This racing suit used fire-retardant materials.
Aramid flame-retardant materials represent the technological power of fire protection. When the speed exceeds 300km/h, a 0.1-second difference in protection can mean the difference between life and death.
Aramid flame-retardant racing suits: The life-saving fortress on the track
1. Flame Retardant and Fireproof
When exposed to open flames, only the surface carbonizes, forming a dense carbon layer that isolates oxygen, preventing the spread of flames and combustion;
No melting droplets; aramid directly carbonizes, significantly improving safety;
Aramid Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) ≥28%, far exceeding the oxygen concentration in the air (21%), with self-extinguishing properties; it self-extinguishes when removed from the flame.
2. Abrasion Resistance
High wear and tear resistance, high strength and tear resistance;
Light, soft, and comfortable, skin-friendly and non-irritating, easy to fold and cut.
Application Verification: Aramid woven fabrics have a long service life in scenarios such as firefighting suits and racing suits that frequently come into contact with rough surfaces.
3. Puncture Resistance
High-density weaving technology disperses external forces, preventing local penetration, suitable for bulletproof and explosion-proof equipment.
Chemical corrosion resistance.
Aramid Flame-Retardant Fabric
Multi-layer protection structure of aramid flame-retardant fabric racing suits:
Outer layer: Wear-resistant aramid fabric
Middle layer: Nano aerogel insulation material
Inner layer: Comfortable, moisture-wicking fabric
Aramid non-woven fabric supports customized production:
Supports flexible adjustments to weight (100-800gsm), thickness (1-6mm), width (1-2.4m), and various composite processes (composite adhesive backing, composite aluminum foil, composite silicone, blended pre-oxidized yarn, blended polyimide, etc., such as anti-static, waterproof) to meet different protection needs.
