KEVLARï¿½

One of the most important manmade organic fibers ever developed, KEVLARï¿½ is used in a wide variety of industrial applications because of its unique combination of properties

Possessing such remarkable combinations of properties, KEVLARï¿½, a para-aramid fiber, has let to its adoption in a variety of end-uses since its commercial introduction in the early 1970's.

Fibres of KEVLARï¿½ consist of long molecular chains produced from poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide. The chains are highly oriented with strong interchain bonding which result in a unique combination of properties.

General Features
