DUPONT™ KEVLAR® FACTS!

1. How strong is Kevlar?

It's strong but relatively light. The specific tensile strength (stretching or pulling strength) of both Kevlar 29 and Kevlar 49 is over eight times greater than that of steel wire. Unlike most plastics it does not melt: it's reasonably good at withstanding temperatures and decomposes only at about 450°C (850°F) - https://www.explainthatstuff.com/kevlar.html

2. What is Kevlar and what is it used for?

Kevlar has many applications, ranging from bicycle tires and racing sails to bulletproof vests, because of its high tensile strength-to-weight ratio; by this measure it is 5 times stronger than steel. It is also used to make modern drumheads that withstand high impact. Reference - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevlar

3. Who uses it?

Dupont™ Kevlar® clothing have been in circulation for over twenty years and is used by police and security professionals to give them that extra bit of safety and confidence that enables them to tackle difficult, and sometimes dangerous situations. Reference - Bladerunner.tv
