Kevlar is a well-known component of personal armor including combat helmets, ballistic facemasks, and ballistic vests. It is also used to manufacture gloves, sleeves, jackets, chaps, and other articles of clothing designed to protect users from cuts, abrasions, and heat. Motorcycle safety clothing is another area where Kevlar is used extensively.
HATCH announced the introduction of the Model PPG2 ArmorTip Puncture Protective Glove, an improved cut-resistant protective glove with a Spectra cut-resistant liner and Kevlar material in the ...
Whether you’re slicing and dicing in the kitchen or woodworking in the garage, it’s always a good idea to have a pair of cut-resistant gloves on hand — literally. You’re probably not at risk of losing ...
For years, A2 and A3 cut-resistant gloves were the trusted standard for hand protection. But that standard is shifting. Today’s fast-moving workplaces are defined by advanced materials, quicker ...
Kevlar (para-aramid) [2] is a strong, heat-resistant synthetic fiber, related to other aramids such as Nomex and Technora. Developed by Stephanie Kwolek at DuPont in 1965, [3][2][4] the high-strength material was first used commercially in the early 1970s as a replacement for steel in racing tires.
Kevlar, trademarked name of poly-para-phenylene terephthalamide, a nylonlike polymer first produced by Du Pont in 1971. Kevlar can be made into strong, tough, stiff, high-melting fibres, five times stronger per weight than steel; it is used in radial tires, heat- or flame-resistant fabrics,
Created by Stephanie Kwolek, Arclin Kevlar ® is a heat-resistant para-aramid synthetic fiber with a molecular structure of many inter-chain bonds that make Kevlar ® incredibly strong. Best known for its use in ballistic body armor, Kevlar ® also has many other applications because of its high tensile strength-to-weight ratio.
