Aramid Fibers: essential2thegoodguys
Chlorine chemistry helps link the molecules of the tough fibers of protective equipment needed by police, military and emergency responders.
The brave men and women of the military, law enforcement and emergency response communities deserve the best protective equipment available. Aramid fibers, a class of strong, heat-resistant synthetic fibers produced with the help of chlorine chemistry, go a long way to protecting the good guys.
