What is Aramid?

Aramid, short for aromatic polyamide, is a synthetic fiber that consists of relatively rigid polymer chains. It is the preferred material in many applications ranging from body armor and protective gear to sports equipment and aviation.

This is due to its superior durability and heat resistance. Because of their durability and resistance against punctures, Aramid fibers have found great applications in car tires as well.
