Products DuPont™ Kevlar® is a para-aramid (aromatic polyamide) fiber that comes in different forms, each suited to a specific set of consumer and industrial applications. DuPont offers Kevlar® in the form of cut fiber that can be converted into yarn or thread, continuous filament yarn, fibrillated pulp, and sheets that provide the structure for mechanical paper. As our customers continue to use Kevlar® to help enhance performance and increase safety, DuPont works with them to explore new possibilities for Kevlar® innovations. Kevlar® Aramid Pulp Kevlar® pulps are chopped and refined fiber with high surface area. They are used as specialty additives that enhance performance by providing excellent reinforcement and viscosity control under shear stress. » More Kevlar® Fiber & Filament Kevlar® fiber in its continuous filament form is used for lightweight strength reinforcement, and serves as the base material for the chopped fiber that goes into different types of Kevlar® spun yarn or thread. » More Kevlar® in Fire-Resistant Mattresses Kevlar® thread helps make fire-resistant (FR) mattresses more effective by improving the integrity of the seams between panels of flame resistant material. » More Kevlar® Paper for Aerospace Applications High strength, light weight and thermal stability have made Kevlar® paper a crucial building material for honeycomb cores in the aerospace industry, where it is used in parts such as cabin floors, rotor blades and engine nacelles. » More Kevlar® Spun Yarn / Felt Gloves and protective clothing made from Kevlar® yarn provide superior cut, abrasion and thermal resistance for people who work with glass, sheet metal and other hazardous objects. » More Life Protection Products Kevlar® helps protect law enforcement, corrections and military personnel from death or serious injury with an ever-growing line of products designed to help defend against ballistic projectiles, fragmentation and puncture-producing handheld weapons. » More DuPont™ Stormroom™ with Kevlar® Kevlar® is the material that allows DuPont™ Stormroom™ in-home storm shelters to resist wind gusts of up to 250 miles per hour. » More Future Fiber Technologies DuPont is actively developing new fiber technologies that will address the future performance requirements for life protection products used in military, law enforcement, first response and industrial applications. » More History of Kevlar® in Life Protection A timeline that traces the adoption and expanding use of Kevlar® as a critical material for helping protect military personnel serving in harm's way. » More New Product New!
