Dacron line strech?

HMA means High Modulus Aramid. I don't know what modulus in particular is being referred to, and I think but don't know that the term Aramid is a class of fibers which includes Kevlar(tm), among others.

I guess these would be the details about Aramid (from [URL]http://www.fibersource.com/f-tutor/aramid.htm[/URL]):

Quote

Federal Trade Commission Definition for Aramid Fiber: A manufactured fiber in which the fiberforming substance is a long-chain synthetic polyamide in which at least 85% of the amide (-CO-NH-) linkages are attached directly between two aromatic rings.
...
Aramid Fiber Characteristics

No melting point
Low flammability
Good fabric integrity at elevated temperatures
Para-aramid fibers, which have a slightly different molecular structure, also provide outstanding strength-to-weight properties, high tenacity and high modulus.

And, from other sources, I gather that the modulus spoken of here is resistance to stretching when under strain. The higher a fiber's modulus, the more it resists stretching under strain.

I was know what HMA is, I was the first to have CSR spin some up for me almost three years ago.
It is the second time I have seen HMA 2 refered to.
