Epoxy bonding to aramid fibres

How do I secure the best possible bonding between epoxy and high modulus aramid fibres.

Is it necessary to remove the fiber spin finish before laminating or pultrusion.

Thanks for your feed back.

Hi Flemming,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Aramid fibres designed for composites use should already be prepared ready for epoxy bonding. I assume you're referring to a fibre that we don't supply (high modulus aramid) so I would recommend you speak to your manufacturer/supplier and ensure that the aramid is suitable for epoxy bonding to be sure.

Best regards, Matt
