	PANOX - the oxidized fiber for textile applications

PANOX is the industry standard when it comes to fire-retardant textile fibers. As an oxidized, thermally stabilized polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber that will not burn, melt, soften or drip,

PANOX is ideal for processing into yarns, woven fabrics, nonwovens and felts.

Applications:
Thanks to a high LOI (Limiting Oxygen Index) value,

PANOX is ideally suited for heat resistant, thermal and acoustic insulation and technical textiles. Typical applications are fire blocking fabrics for seating in aircraft, trains, busses and cars, or protective clothing for fire fighters, armed forces and police personnel, racing drivers and steelworkers.

PANOX fibers are also used as an asbestos replacing additive in friction linings of automotive disc and drum brakes, as insulation material, industrial packings and gaskets.

Some of the largest applications of

PANOX are its uses as a precursor material in the manufacture of carbon/carbon aircraft brake discs, and in fire blocking felts for motor vehicles.
