Heat Aged Tensile Strength Retention of Poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) Sewing Thread

The strength retention after exposure to elevated tem-perature in air of continuous filament and staple spun PPTA sewing thread and the precursor yarns was determined. For both types, the process of converting the greige yarn to thread reduced the amount of strength retained after thermal exposure....
