Aramid paper is known as calendared insulating paper. These papers a heat-resistant fiber and synthetic materials. These papers can offer protection against flexibility, heat, mechanical toughness, and resilience. There are two types of aramid paper i.e. para-aramid and meta-aramid papers. Advanced aramid papers are mainly meta-aramid papers that comes in two physical forms as flocs and fibrids. These flocs and fibrids are microscopic binders and short fibers particles. To convert meta-aramid paper-flocs and fibrids in a sheet structure, fourdrinier paper machines are used, High heat pressure is applied on the aramid paper to increase the density of the paper and also to attain a bulk gravity. Aramid papers are used in many industries such as aerospace, elastomers, electrical engineering, specialty papers, and defense. In electrical engineering aramid paper are used in many applications such as armature slot insulation, lead insulators, wire wrap phase insulator, wedges, coil wrapper, bushings, and end laminates. Aramid papers resist acids, fluorocarbon refrigerants, alkalis, silicones, and transformer oils.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
- Covid-19 has created ripples in the aerospace industry which resulted in a decrease in the number of aircraft deliveries and reduced demand for the aramid paper market.
- Due to the pandemic, the production activities of numerous industries were halted in the first half of 2020. Even after the relaxation of the lockdown in the second half, the market was still affected by the decreased automotive demand. This is attributed to decreased consumer spending which consequently affected the demand for aramid paper in 2020.
- Many industries such as elastomers, electrical engineering, specialty papers were shut down at the time of the pandemic which decreases the demand for aramid paper.
Top Impacting Factors
The electronics and electrical industries are growing in developed and developing countries. This will drive the growth of the aramid paper market. Discontinuous and continuous phase of reinforcement and polymer-based matrix that is polymer matrix composites are used in many industries. Poly aramid paper has high strength and stiffness and is used in the discontinuous reinforcement phase of polymer matrix composite. In many industries such as aerospace and defense, the demand for these composites is increasing which increases the demand for aramid paper. The elastomeric industry is expanding in the world. The utilization of aramid paper in the elastomer industry is in many applications like power transmission belts, tires, and conveyor belts. The demand is growingfor aramid paper in this industry and will increase the growth of the aramid paper market. In the defense sector, aramid paper is used for protection against helmets vehicles, ballistic weapons, and protective clothing. This will drive the growth of the aramid paper market. Also, the usage of aramid papers in the industries such as electronics, automotive and telecommunication, will increase the demand for aramid paper and will boost the growth.Demand for aramid paper is increasing in generators, honeycomb materials, motors and dry transformers from the composite industry.
