message: I think fire dancing can be seen as industiral, if it's done to industrial music.  However, I wonder if the topic header might have meant industry in the sense of "production of physical goods".  It also might be a major use in some circles, but I imagine global demend might be somewhat smaller than for tire belts.--Joel 06:21, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Wow. Excellent article, good writing! Good practical info for Everyman!  ...way above par for Wiki!
But   aramids and para-aramids seem to be used interchangeably. Are they?  This needs to be made explicit. If not, needs explaining, with examples of aramids and so forth. 
Also needing explaining are "sensitive to acids and salts," and "sensitive to ultraviolet radiation."  Such as; how bad is it? Two days in the sun? 10 days in seawater? Fixes, product variations, or work-arounds? etc...  Cheers!  <BR>  --2602:306:CFCE:1EE0:C16D:7F97:1C4C:6D39 (talk) 19:01, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added a brief explanation of the difference between meta-aramids and para-aramids, in a new Terminology and chemical structure section. As to when the article is talking about one or the other or aramids in general, that might be another matter. Sometimes it looks as though aramid on its own is used as a synonym for meta-aramid and contrasted with para-aramid . . . Musiconeologist (talk) 02:13, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

message: The current second sentence of the article is structured as They are used in A and B, for C and D, in E, F, and as G. I can't tell whether aerospace and military applications (A and B) are meant just to be the first item on the list, or to encompass some or all of the remaining items.

message: I've kept the FTC definition (now quoted in a footnote to the terminology and chemical structure section). But it seems very odd to be using a particular country's trading regulations as the source for a scientific definition. Really we need the definition used by the ISO or an international scientific body, even if it turns out to be identical. Musiconeologist (talk) 02:37, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

message: In the section called 'Production' I read: 
'In 2007 this means a total production capacity of around 55,000 tonnes per year.'
I increasingly often also in German come across this type of - to my perception over-determined - phrasing.
'In 2007 this means a total production capacity of around 55,000 tonnes.'  Should be enough and therefore much better than giving the impression that the omitted words are somehow necessary. Or maybe they are and I just have not gotten the role they play .. Lodidol (talk) 16:08, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
