RED FIRE
Imta-aramid flame retardant fibre
RED FIRE
Imta-aramid flame retardant fibre
100% Meta-aramid
High heat resistance, up to 400° flame. It is self-extinguishing, does not melt and does not drip due to the composition of 100% meta aramid cut fibre.

| RED FIRE FIBRE PROPERTIES | |
|---|---|
| Heat Resistance | The thermal stability of RED FIRE meta-aramid is long lasting: exposed for hours to the high temperature of 204° C, it maintains excellent dimensional stability. Temporarily exposed to a high temperature of 300° C, it does not embrittle, soften or melt. |
| Flame Resistance | With LOI≥28, RED FIRE meta-aramid is inherently flame resistant. It is self-extinguishing: it does not burn, it does not melt in the room air, it does not support combustion. It starts to carbonize at 400° C. |
| Chemical stability | The chemical structure of RED FIRE is very stable, hence its resistance to most strong inorganic acids and alkalis at room temperature. |
| Electrical insulation | RED FIRE has excellent electrical insulation properties. The dielectric strength of meta-aramid paper is up to 20kv/mm. |
| Radiation resistance | RED FIRE meta-aramid fibre features good resistance to α, β and ultraviolet radiation. |
| Mechanical properties | The low stiffness and high elongation of RED FIRE make this yarn suitable for processing on conventional textile machines, while the staple fibre can be processed into a wide variety of woven and non-woven fabrics. |
