Answer to the quiz

NO

ARAMID FIBERS DO NOT CONDUCT ELECTRICITY, because of the unique amid bonds in aramids, there are no free electrons needed for conducting electricity. This means that workwear made from such materials can be safer for workers in conditions where there is a potential risk of electrical discharges, such as electricians working with live wires or maintenance personnel in industrial settings with electrical equipment.
