Kevlar

Extremely strong yet lightweight and durable, Kevlar® provides the perfect balance of form and functionality— which allows to redefine performance and explore new possibilities of use.
DuPont™ Kevlar® is a heat-resistant para-aramid synthetic fibre with a molecular structure of many inter-chain bonds that make Kevlar® incredibly strong. The chemical structure of Kevlar® is comprised of many inter-chain bonds. These chains are cross-linked with hydrogen bonds, providing a tensile strength 10X greater than steel on an equal weight basis.

Kevlar® fibres are so tightly spun that it is nearly impossible to separate them. Due to the fully extended and perfectly aligned molecular chains within Kevlar® fiber, Kevlar® provides a strong protective barrier against slashes, cuts and punctures.
Kevlar® is inherently flame resistant—protecting against thermal hazards up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, Kevlar® fibres won’t melt, drip or support combustion.
