Aramid reinforcement materials
Aramid reinforcement systems are used in structures requiring high tensile strength combined with high impact resistance at a low weight. The advantage of aramid is that this fibre has a low coefficient of thermal expansion. The best results are achieved when carbon reinforcement materials are processed with an epoxy resin.
