Aramid fiber and aramid fabrics consists of bulk, chopped fibers, continuous strands or woven cloth forms of aromatic polyamide thermoplastic for reinforcing polymer matrix composites and other applications. A textile fabric made of aramid fibers is typically flame resistant and strong even at elevated temperatures. Aramid is made from an aromatic polymer that has a carbon-based backbone. Aramid fibers and aramid fabrics are created by spinning a solid fiber from the liquid polymer using a device called a spinneret.

Aramid fiber and aramid fabrics are frequently used in fire and flame resistant clothing, protective equipment such as vests and helmets for firefighters, asbestos mitigation equipment, hot air filtration, reinforcement of rubber goods such as tires, ropes and cables, and sailcloth. Aramid fabric can also be treated with resins or epoxies to make polymer matrix composites. These composites combine the strength of the aramid fibers with the resin to create an industrial textile that is strong, easily molded into complex shapes, and abrasion and impact resistant. These composites are frequently used in transportation applications, including the building of boats and aircraft.
