Selling to our company
1. If we wanted you to buy our aramid or carbon, how would we go about it?
Send us information about what product(s) you have, approximate quantity, and location. We would pay for the merchandise, and all freight charges. If you are a public safety agency, we can assure you of a secure disposal, and full rendering of non-strategic use.
2. Is there a minimum quantity required?
Minimum is usually 450kgs (1000lbs). For zylon there is no minimum.
3. Why do people ask so many questions?
We don’t know. It could be insatiable curiosity.
4.How do you avoid a landfill?
Generally, by not stepping in it. If aramid or carbon fiber is taken to an incinerator, there is a good chance it will not burn, due to their high temperature tolerance. You can leave it there and let archaeologists dig it up in one million years, or we can take the para aramid fibers and have it cut up into various forms, and recycled into consumer and industrial applications, such as conveyor belts for high temperature industrial manufacturing (such as pots and pans), fireman’s clothing, brake pads, or high strength rope. When requested, we would be glad to provide a Certificate of Destruction.
Carbon fiber, which will not burn in the incinerator, can be ground into powdered form, for such uses as sporting goods, bicycles, and other lightweight substitutes for metal. Graphite, used in pencils that got us through grade school, or improving our golf game, is made from carbon.
5. Do you purchase materials other than para aramid and carbon?
