Tensile StrengthTensile Strength

Unmatched Tensile Strength

Kevlar’s inter-chain bonds and tightly spun fibers make it incredibly strong and lightweight. It possesses a tensile strength 10 times greater than steel on an equal weight basis.

Exceptional Heat ResistanceExceptional Heat Resistance

Exceptional Heat Resistance

With a melting point and decomposition temperature in excess of 427°C, this high-quality aramid fiber remains stable and retains its structural integrity even under extreme heat conditions.

Low Elongation and High ModulusLow Elongation and High Modulus

Low Elongation and High Modulus 

Kevlar has a low elongation of only 3.6%, making it ideal for applications that require minimal stretch, while its high modulus of 131 GPa provides stiffness and structural integrity. 

Abrasion, Cut, Puncture and Impact ResistanceAbrasion, Cut, Puncture and Impact Resistance

Abrasion, Cut, Puncture and Impact Resistance

Choosing the Right Product

Goodfellow offers various forms of Kevlar:

Staple Fibers: These short, discrete fibers can be blended with other materials or processed into non-woven fabrics. They provide added strength and durability to composite materials.

Continuous Filament Yarns: Long, continuous strands of Kevlar fibers, commonly used in reinforcement applications such as ropes, cables, and fabrics.

Paper: A thin, flexible sheet made from Kevlar fibers that offers excellent strength, heat resistance, and electrical insulation properties. Used in gaskets, electrical insulation and filtration.

Spun Laced Fabrics: Non-woven fabrics made by interlocking Kevlar fibers using high-pressure water jets. They exhibit high strength, tear resistance, and flexibility, making them suitable for protective clothing and industrial applications.

All our Kevlar products comply with European Directives 2015/863/EU (RoHS 3) and 2000/53/EC (ELV), ensuring their environmental friendliness. Additionally, we hold certifications for ISO 9001, EN 9100, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, demonstrating our dedication to quality and safety.
