Polybenzimidazoles(PBI) are polymer with benzo heterocyclic rigid chain. These are majorly attained from condensation and cyclization of aromatic amine and diphenyl phthalate. In molten state they react with strong polar solvents. PBI fiber is the synthetic fiber, possessing an extraordinary thermal and chemical stability, low melting points, and high stability at elevated temperatures. PBIs are inflammable in air due to high moisture content this leads to their widely used for making protective wears such as protective gloves, aeronautical suits, aircraft wall fabrics, protective gloves, and welder’s apparel. The PBI’s based fibersare manufactured by a dry spinning process utilizing dimethylacetamide solvent and tetra-aminobiphenyl and diphenylisophthalate reactants.
The PBI’s are used over the military based application at the starting, and now the applications have further covered the semiconductor, membranes, petrochemical and many other fields. This PBI fiber based space suits also exhibit some of other key properties associated to low melting point, inflammability, high strength, and resistance to mildew, abrasion, and chemicals.
The polybenzimidazole fibers are stable at high temperatures and are also considered as the ideal materials as fire blocking apparels, flame retardant fabrics and as the safety gloves.
