Product Models
Aromatic Polyamide Resins are a class of high-performance polymers characterized by amide bonds directly attached to aromatic rings. These polymers exhibit exceptional thermal stability, mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and flame retardancy.
All aromatic polyamide resins consist entirely of aromatic rings along the polymer backbone. This structure provides maximum stiffness, heat resistance (often >300 °C), and dimensional stability, but can also lead to processing challenges due to high melting points. Notable products include:
Aramid-X Ultra Unitika: Advanced para-aramid fiber resin blend with exceptional tensile strength; used in aerospace composites. Price: $120 to 150/kg; Customers: Aerospace & motorsport OEMs.
Kevlar® P95 DuPont: Classic para-aramid resin offering ultra high strength; broad use in ballistic armor. Price: $110 to 140/kg; Customers: Defense & protective gear manufacturers
Twaron® Teijin Aramid: A para-aramid fiber similar to Kevlar, known for its extreme strength-to-weight ratio. Price Range: $30.00 $55.00 / kg. Usual Customer: Tire manufacturers (for reinforcement) and optic fiber cable producers.
Kermel® Kermel SAS: A polyamide-imide (often grouped with all-aromatics) used for high-end military flight suits. Price Range: $40.00 $65.00 / kg. Usual Customer: Air forces, elite police units, and professional racing teams.
X-Fiper® SRO Aramid: A meta-aramid paper used for general industrial insulation and honeycomb structures. Price Range: $15.00 $25.00 / kg. Usual Customer: Commercial aircraft interior manufacturers and consumer electronics builders.
Semi-aromatic polyamide resins contain both aromatic and aliphatic segments in the polymer chain. This hybrid structure balances high performance with improved processability, offering better melt flow and broader applicability in injection molding and extrusion. Notable products include:
Semi-Aramid Elite 3000 Unitika: High-performance semi-aromatic polyamide with enhanced melt flow. Price: $70 to 90/kg; Customers: Aerospace interiors.
Amodel® A-1000HT Solvay: High-temp semi-aromatic for electrical housings. Price: $80 to 100/kg; Customers: Electronics manufacturers.
