KEVLAR® by DuPont™: Aromic polyamide fibers, consisting of
synthetic polyamides, commonly woven into fabric for cut and heat
resistant gloves, aprons, etc. KEVLAR® provides protection against cuts
without diminishing manual dexterity or flexibility. It is 4 times more
cut resistant than leather, almost 2 times more cut resistant than
equal weight cotton and 40% more cut resistant than NOMEX®. The cut
resistant properties of KEVLAR® will not diminish or wear out, even
after repeated laundering. KEVLAR® has outstanding high-temperature
resistance and low thermal conductivity. It will not burn, melt, or
support combustion. It will not decompose until exposed to temperatures
exceeding 800°-900°F.
