PBI (Polybenzimidazole) type to register the highest CAGR in protective clothing market between 2016 and 2021

The protective clothing market is segmented by material type, namely, aramid & blends, polyolefin & blends, polyamide, PBI, UHMW polyurethane and others. PBI is expected to register the highest CAGR for protective clothing between 2016 and 2021. PBI registered highest CAGR because of its high thermal and chemical stability, which, like aramid fibers, does not burn in air. PBI has less process ability and hence is often blended with other materials to increase performance and decrease cost of the overall fabric produced. For example, PBI when blended with aramid in a two-third ratio provides an excellent fire protection.
