At a glance
Seven chapters follow. Fire and insulation claims name test families (Euroclass, ASTM E84, ISO 5660, KS F) rather than inventing a single safety number. Aramid is sold as grades, not as a single substance. Chemistry PPTA (para) / meta-aramid cousin Nomex, density ~1.44 g/cm³, heat band does not melt; decomposes ~500 °C.

Aramid is one of 32 materials in this atlas, grouped under textiles: history, structure, measured properties, process routes, uses, safety and market — not a product catalogue. Scores compare Aramid with the rest of the atlas on strength, heat, fire behaviour, insulation, workability and circularity. They are editorial, not certificates.

Aramid · paras 1
Conductivity note: low radial; fibre anisotropic. Insulation score 36/100 is relative to 32 entries — metals lose, VIPs and aerogels win. Fire letter in editorial use: inherently FR vs commodity PA. Do not equate A1 with “safe in a blaze” or E with “illegal”. Assemblies decide.
Aramid · paras 1
Origin: DuPont 1965 Kwolek, United States. The process chapter follows feedstock → conversion → forming → finish → install. Aramid (PPTA (para) / meta-aramid cousin Nomex) is a family of grades whose density ~1.44 g/cm³, heat band does not melt; decomposes ~500 °C, and fire letter inherently FR vs commodity PA.
