Main Properties
◎ Lower density than water
◎ Extremely high ratio of weight-strength and weight-modulus
◎ At least double cooling sensation of other raw materials
◎ Excellent resistance with salty, acid, alkali and other most chemicals
◎ Resistant to stretching and bending fatigue, features a long flexibility lifetime
◎ Low elongation ratio at break, high breaking strength, outstanding cut resistance
◎ Good UV, neutron and γ-ray resistance, low dielectric constant, high electromagnetic wave transmittance
◎ Excellent impact resistance, high impact absorption capacity that is nearly 2 times greater than aramid, high abrasion resistance and low friction coefficient
