Kevlar Aramid Fabric / Kevlar Cloth
Up to 400°C
Main applications
the extreme strength of Kevlar aramid fabric
Key Features
Five times the tensile strength of steel
Kevlar (aramid) fiber — five times the tensile strength of steel weight for weight, as tough as ballistic material
400°C heat resistance
Aramid fiber — 300–400°C continuous, holding higher tensile strength than ceramic fiber
Abrasion- and impact-resistant protective fabric
A high-strength fabric ideal for abrasion-, cut- and impact-protective gloves, jackets and sleeves
Fatigue and flex resistance
The fatigue characteristics of aramid mean no loss of strength through repeated flexing and vibration
Custom weave and size
Weave, width and thickness all custom — from protective clothing to industrial jackets
