Aramid Fibers Production By Wet Spinning Method

This report proffers the thorough economics of aramid fibers production by the wet spinning method. There are two types of aramids, i.e., meta-aramid and para-aramid. Meta-aramid is produced using poly-metaphenylene isophthalamide polymer and para-aramid is produced by using p-phenylene terephthalamide polymer compound.

The aramid varieties are processed using the wet spinning method, where the polymer varieties, i.e., poly-metaphenylene isophthalamide or p-phenylene terephthalamide, are spun through a spinneret into the bath in the presence of sulfuric acid and organic salts. After spinning, the salts are leached out, and the fibers are drawn to optimize the properties and quality while producing aramid fiber as the end product. The wet spinning method can be used for the production of both meta- and para-aramid varieties.

Feedstocks For Aramid Fiber

Aramid fibers are produced mainly in two varieties, i.e., meta-aramid and para-aramid. Meta aramid uses poly-metaphenylene isophthalamide polymer as its primary raw material, and para-aramid uses p-phenylene terephthalamide polymer as its major feedstock.

The procurement of the aramid fibers is majorly determined by the procurement of its feedstocks. There are different factors that influence and result in fluctuations in the acquisition of the feedstocks used for aramid production. Some of these factors include the production rate of the feedstock polymers, stability in supply, market prices, transportation charges, logistics, and trade policies, etc. These factors play a major role in shifting the overall market dynamics of aramid fiber on a large scale.
