The use of aramids and para-aramids in the manufacture of individual protective equipment

Abstract

The paper presents the possibility of using aramids and para-aramids in order to increase the mechanical and thermal quality of individual protective equipment and the possibility of being used in harsh environments. The work will highlight the physico-chemical characteristics of aramids and para-aramids in comparison with the classic materials from which individual protective equipment is made in the present. The utility of the equipment will also be taken into account for their use underground in mining operations, a condition that is fulfilled by their chemical treatment.
