Hose reinforcement. (Literature Materials).


Usage of aramid fibers ar·a·mid fiber  
n.
A strong, heat-resistant fiber formed of polymers with repeating aromatic groups branching from a carbon backbone, used in materials for bulletproof vests and radial tires. Also called polyaramid.
 in industrial and automotive hoses is described in company literature. Elastomeric hoses are used to transport all kinds of fluids, and in demanding applications they may be exposed to a variety of mechanical and thermal stresses, requiring high-performance reinforcements such as aramid fibers, according to according to

 the literature. Aramid Aramid fibers are a class of heat-resistant and strong synthetic fibers. They are used in aerospace and military applications, for ballistic rated body armor fabric, and as an asbestos substitute. The name is a shortened form of "aromatic polyamide".  fiber-reinforced hoses are said to be tough and exhibit exceptional thermal and chemical stability, according to the literature. Twaron and Technora para-aramid fibers and the company's Teijinconex meta-aramid fiber are said to be continuously improved in hose reinforcement reinforcement /re·in·force·ment/ (-in-fors´ment) in behavioral science, the presentation of a stimulus following a response that increases the frequency of subsequent responses, whether positive to desirable events, or  applications at the firm's application research laboratories.
