The most popular use of para-aramid fibres is the ballistic protection in Western Europe, truck and bike tires, tension reinforcement for fibre optic above ground cables and protective coverings for underground and underwater fiber optic cable, but it is being predicted that the research and development in this stream of aramid fibres is likely to ensure that the para-aramid fibres are used to some more important uses.
Para-aramid fibres are imported on a large scale by developed countries. In such a scenario, it is a surprise that the growth of para-aramid fibres has not yet reached its full potential. Even though there is a gleam of hope as the production in Western Europe and Japan has risen greatly in the last decade, but this production is confined to a single company. This company accounts for about one-third of the total production in Europe and about one-half of the production in Japan. The trend of newer entrants in production of para-aramid fibres is also not very encouraging.

Nice post.

Para aramid has more melting point and strength than ortho or meta aramid!
