PBO fiber

What is PBO staple fiber?

Property of PBO staple fiber 

1. Excellent strength & modulus
2. Good flame resistance
3. Excellent thermal stability
4. Excellent creep resistance
5. Good chemical resistance

Disadvantages of PBO staple fiber 

1. Very poor UV resistance
2. Poor compressive strength
3. Strength loss in exposure to strong acids

What are the applications of PBO staple fiber ?

1. PBO staple fiber is used to make high-temperature-resistant yarn, and pbo staple fiber yarn is woven into cloth and used to make fire-fighting clothing, fire-proof clothing, and high-temperature -resistant furnace front clothing. The excellent flame-retardant properties of pbo fiber make firefighting clothing and safety protective clothing very useful for rescue workers who jump into fire scenes without worrying about being burned.
2. PBO staple fiber is used to make heat-resistant felt, fire-proof felt, fire-proof non-woven fabric, high-temperature resistant filter felt, heat insulation felt Mainly used for coal-fired power plants, waste incinerators, or cement plants, PBO fibres are used to filter hot gases. In this application, a PBO needle felt separates dust and particulate matter from the exhaust gas.
3. Machine protective cover, heat shield for example, in mechanical terms, metals get very hot when welded. Since most robots are made of metal or resin, it's common for them to melt from the heat during the welding process if they are not use protective cover. Therefore, by covering the robot with fabric made by PBO fabirc as a protective cover, the robot becomes very durable.
4. Fire-resistant gloves, flame-retardant and high-temperature resistant gloves fire-resistant gloves made of PBO staple fiber yarn have very good flexibility and heat resistance.
5. High-strength ropes, lifting ropes, cables.
6. Ropes, sewing threads, woven fabrics, and weftless fabrics.
