The applications for PBO fibres are diverse, but they are generally in advanced and demanding environments, mainly due to the high price of this fibre, which, it should be remembered, has the highest
Kiang PBO Fiber is a rigid-rod isotropic crystal polymer that is spun by a dry-jet wet spinning process.It's a special material fibers with high mechanical and thermal performance. These fibers and filaments are characterized by high tensile strength (almost 10 times higher than stainless steel), excellent impact energy absorption (twice of para-aramid), and exceptional thermal stability (limiting oxygen index of 68).Other advantages of PBO are excellent creep resistance, very good anti-cutting performance, minimal temperature shrinkage, abrasion resistance close to para aramids, good mechanical fatigue resistance and resistance to a wide range of chemicals. This fibre is available in "regular" (type AS-as spun) and "high modulus" (type HM).The HM PBO has a higher modulus and lower elongation at break.
Please note that we definitely uses only 100% virgin, new and long- PBO fiber.As its high sensitivity to UV radiation. It should be stored, processed and dispatched in optimal conditions in relation to the particular characteristics of this fibre. As for its resistance to high temperatures and high mechanical stress, PBO is used in industry (glassware, filtration, conveyor belts, sewing thread, welding or foundry protection, joints, etc.), construction (concrete reinforcements), safety (firefighter's protective equipment, anti-cutting gloves, ballistic protection, etc.). ...), sport, yachting, sailing, motor sport ( rope and braiding, fabrics, composite textile matrix...), aircraft, aerospace, transport (tyres, various types of sheathing...), acoustic applications (loudspeakers)...
