KEVLAR® is a synthetic fiber known for its high strength and durability. It is a type of aramid fiber, which means that it is made from a class of synthetic polymers known as aromatic polyamides. KEVLAR was developed by DuPont in the 1970s and has since become a widely used material in many applications.
Aramid fabrics like KEVLAR can be used with, or as a great alternative to carbon fiber or fiberglass. Composite-grade KEVLAR is used in a variety of different products, including in the construction of boats, airplanes and automobiles, as well as in sporting goods and other consumer products. One of the primary advantages of KEVLAR is its ability to withstand elevated temperatures and resist abrasion, making it a popular choice for use in products that are subjected to extreme conditions.
