Carbon fiber PANOX®

towmilledcontinuous

PANOX is an oxidized polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber which does not burn, melt, soften or drip. As an internationally recognized industry standard for non-flammable textile fibers, PANOX can be used in many different fields as an effective protection against fire and heat. The LOI value of PANOX, at >45 %, is considerably higher than that of other fibres and corresponds to combustion class S-a according to DIN 66083. The optimum fibers for textile processes Our oxidized PAN fibers are extremely versatile and can be easily used in a wide range of different textile processes to produce high performing, economic, flame proof and insulating fabrics. We supply PANOX as continuous tow, crimped and non-crimped staple, and milled fiber with different fiber diameters, lengths, densities, and sizings. Material properties of PANOX High LOI value of > 45 % Excellent fire class High temperature resistance Optimized for textile processing Ideal blending and processing behavior PANOX continuous fibers are supplied as a 320,000 filament tow with a special lubricating sizing to improve stretch breaking and tow conversion into yarns for knitted and woven textiles. Continuous fiber tows are available in two different fineness levels. Crimped PANOX fibers are made from continuous fiber tow. They are supplied with a special sizing that improves cohesion. Together with a carefully optimized crimp level, this ensures that carding processes run continually and reliably, with good productivity. Crimped staple fibers are available in a range of lengths to suit different non-woven processes and equipment.
