> PANOX® oxidized PAN fibers Effective flame proofing. Easy processing. PANOX fibers from SGL Carbon are inherently flame-resistant. They do not melt, drip or burn. The limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) of > 45 %, (depending on the fiber density), means that an oxygen content of at least 45 % is required before the fibers will burn. As the normal oxygen content of air is only 21 %, this mean that, under normal circumstances, PANOX will not burn at all. With their excellent handling and processing properties, PANOX fibers are an ideal choice for heatresistant and flame-proof woven and non-woven...

Our oxidized, thermally stabilized polyacrylonitrile [PAN] fibers are known throughout the world under the PANOX brand name, and have proved their worth in numerous industries as an ideal material for flameproof products. We make PANOX on the basis of our unique expertise in all processing stages of carbon fiber manufacture. Industrial Applications • Fire resistant technology • Chemical and heat resistant technology • Railway interiors • Steel industry • Elevator braking systems Market segments of our Business Unit Composites - Fibers & Materials Automotive Typical applications • Thermal...

Reliable, tried and versatile in application PANOX is an internationally recognized industry standard for non-flamable and heat resistant technical fibers. Our oxidized PAN fibers are extremely versatile and can be easily used in a wide range of different textile processes to produce high performing, economic, flame proof and insulating fabrics. PANOX from SGL Carbon is used in many different industries -such as the automotive industry, aerospace industry, energy sector as well as in many other industrial applications. Aerospace Energy • Air cabin interiors • Energy storage • Braking system...

We've got something against fire and heat There are good reasons why PANOX has made its name as an industrial standard in the field of nonflammable textile fibers. Apart from high heat resistance, the thermally stabilized textile fibers are extremely resistant to chemicals and provide high electrical insulation. They are also outstanding for textile production stages and are easy to process. PANOX oxidized fiber portfolio

PANOX® thermally stabilized textile fibers PANOX is an oxidized polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber which does not burn, melt, soften or drip. It is made by means of thermal stabilization of PAN at 300 °C. This results in an oxidized textile fiber with a carbon content of approx. 62 %. Thanks to its special properties, such as an LOI (Limited Oxygen Index) value of > 45 % oxygen – depending on density of oxidation – PANOX can be used in many different fields as an effective protection against fire and heat. PANOX: outstanding properties Unser Materialportfolio • High LOI value of > 45 % •...

With PANOX, SGL Carbon provides a textile fiber with a unique, stabilized chemical structure that does not burn, melt, soften or drip when exposed to heat or fire. This ensures the best possible protection to the wearer, and is why PANOX meets the Fire Class S-a in DIN 66083 for protective workwear, the highest protection requirement in its class, and ensures no melting or molten debris, and no afterglow or burning. This means that end products containing PANOX fibers have excellent heat and fire protection in addition to high temperature resistance. On top of this are good insulative...
