Kevlar® KM2®

DuPont created Kevlar® KM2® to achieve the performance goals defined by casualty reduction testing. Today it is used extensively for fragmentation protection in the U.S. military. Helmets and vests made with Kevlar® KM2® provide enhanced bullet and fragmentation resistance while remaining comfortable and breathable in the most inhospitable climates.

Excellent thermal stability at temperature extremes, water repellency, chemical stability and resistance to petroleum products have made Kevlar® KM2® an indispensable asset to the military personnel who use it every day.
