Aramid Kevlar Fiber Fabric

Aramid fiber is best suited for applications were toughness is preferred. In addition, aramid fibers offer super strength the weight ratio of tensile strength is 6 times of steel wire,3 times of glass fiber 2 times of High strength nylon industrial yarn. these fibers are 43% lighter than fiberglass, the tensile modulus is thrice as strong as steel wire, twice as strong as e-glass, and ten times as strong as aluminum. These unique properties make it an exceptional fiber for use in composite reinforcements, ballistics applications, ropes, cables and protective apparel, best known for its use in ballistic and stab-resistant body armor.

Properties of aramid Kevlar Fiber:
High Modulus
High LASE (Load At Specified Elongation)
High tensile strength at low weight
Low elongation to break high modulus (structural rigidity)
Low electrical conductivity
High chemical resistance
Low thermal shrinkage
High toughness (work-to-break)
Excellent dimensional stability
High cut resistance
Flame resistant, self extinguishing
No embrittlement or degradation at temperatures as low as -320 F
Sensitive to UV light - unprotected yarn will discolor with prolonged exposure.
