Short cut polyacrylonitrile fibres 6.7 dtex are used as reinforcement in a variety of applications including paints, coatings and sealants.
Polyacrylonitrile flocks are used extensively in intumescent paints and coatings, where fibres char rather than melt. This reinforces the film under fire conditions.
Polyacrylonitrile fibres are also often used to reinforce
water-based acrylic roof coatings and flooring adhesives.
