Meta-Aramid is a well-known registered brand in the global meta-aramid market, the other major brands are Nomex® registered by Dupont, and Teijinconex® registered by Teijin. The main physical properties reach international advanced level of meta-aramid products.
It is safe and within Oeko-Tex Standard 100 product class 1 for baby articles. Items from 0.8d to 13d are available in raw white, solution-dyed and easier dyeable in varieties of filament, tow, short-cut, and staple for many different applications.
Main Characteristics of NEWSTAR® Meta-aramid
Heat Resistance: NEWSTAR® Mata-aramid has long-lasting thermal stability. It can be used for long hours at the high temperature of 204℃ and maintains excellent dimensional stability. It will not embrittle, soften or melt when it is exposed temporarily to the high temperature of 300℃.
Flame Resistance: With LOI≥28, NEWSTAR® meta-aramid is inherently flame resistant. It does not self burn or melt in the room air, no combustion-supporting, and has the property of self- extinguishing. It starts to get carbonized at 400 ℃.
Electrical Insulation: NEWSTAR® meta-aramid fibre has very good electrical insulation property. The dielectric strength of meta-aramid paper is up to 20kv/mm. Chemical Stability: NEWSTAR® meta-aramid fibre has a very stable chemical structure. It is resistant to most strong inorganic acid and to alkalis at room temperature.
Radiation Resistance: NEWSTAR® meta-aramid fibre shows good resistance to α, β and ultraviolet radiation.
Mechanical Properties: The low-rigidity and high elongation of NEWSTAR® meta-aramid make it available for processing by conventional textile machinery. Staple fibre can be processed into a variety of fabrics and non-wovens.
