Aramid fiber, also known as aramid or para-aramid, is a type of synthetic fiber that is known for its high strength and heat resistance. It is typically made from polyamide fibers and is used in a wide range of industrial and technical applications, including bulletproof vests, ropes, and tires. In the nonwovens industry, aramid fibers are often used to produce high-performance fabrics for industrial and automotive applications, due to their high strength and durability.
