Filament Para Aramid

Para-aramid is a well-known form of polyaramid fibre (polyparaphenylene terephthalamide) related to nylon in that it is formed of polyamide.

The difference between Para-aramid and nylon is that nylon has a carbon chain linkage with the amide structure whereas the polyaramids have a phenyl linkage. Para-aramid is distinguished from Meta-aramid because it connects at the para-position of the phenyl link.

Wilkie have the ability to manufacture up to 4 ply yarn.
