Aramid III high-strength, high-modulus filament used in the tire cord of new energy vehicles

Aramid III Filament

Aramid III filament is a high-performance heterocyclic aramid fiber independently developed in China. It has reached internationally advanced levels in mechanical properties, heat resistance, and overall stability, making it especially suitable for high-end fields such as national defense and aerospace.

Aramid III is a heterocyclic aramid, copolymerized from terephthaloyl chloride, p-phenylenediamine, and benzimidazole monomers. The introduction of a heterocyclic structure significantly improves the molecular chain rigidity and thermal stability. Its filament form uses "denier (D)" to indicate linear density; for example, 1000D means 1000 grams per 9000 meters of fiber, belonging to the category of high-load industrial yarns.

 

Aramid III 1000D Filament Core Characteristics

Mechanical Properties

Ultra-High Strength and Modulus : Strength exceeding 4,500 MPa, modulus reaching over 139 GPa, suitable for lightweight, high-load structures such as spacecraft and missile casings.

Low Elongation Breaking elongation is only 2.9%-3.3%, providing high dimensional stability, but the bonding process with the resin matrix needs optimization to prevent interfacial delamination.

Thermal and Flame Retardant Properties

High Temperature Resistance : Long-term use temperature >200℃, short-term resistance to 560℃, softening point 367-370℃, non-melting in flames and self-extinguishing after removal from flame.

Thermo-Oxidative Stability : Strength retention rate >78% after aging at 250℃ for 192 hours; the heterocyclic structure significantly slows down aging.

Environmental Adaptability

Chemical Resistance : Resistant to organic solvents and salt solutions, but performance degradation requires protection in strong acid/strong alkali environments.

UV Sensitivity : Strength loss of approximately 40% after prolonged exposure to sunlight; coating or composite treatment is required.

Moisture Absorption : Moisture absorption can reach 7%; in a wet state, it can easily affect the interfacial performance of composite materials.

 

Aramid III 1000D Filament Application Fields

National Defense and Protection

Ballistic Equipment : Multi-layer fabrics are laminated to produce bulletproof vests and helmet liners, combining lightweight and impact resistance.

Firefighting Suits/Special Workwear : Used to produce high-temperature resistant and flame-retardant clothing.

High-End Industry

Optical Cable Reinforcement : As a tensile reinforcement, ensuring a 20-year service life and adapting to extreme climates.

Automotive Components : Tire cords, high-pressure hoses, and battery separators for new energy vehicles, improving wear resistance and thermal stability.

Composite Materials : Spacecraft casings, wound pressure vessels (resin impregnation process needs optimization to improve interlaminar shear strength).

Special Equipment

Climbing ropes, cut-resistant gloves, friction sealing materials, etc.
