Kevlar®

Kevlar® is fire resistant and sturdy, despite its low weight and can endure up to 700 degrees Celsius heat momentarily. Kevlar® can handle a prolonged heat exposure of about 250 degrees Celsius. In addition to excellent protection against heat Kevlar® also provides cut resistance.

Key Properties

Cut Resistance : Provides robust protection against sharp objects like glass, metal and sharp edges. Ideal for industries where cuts and abrasions are a common hazard.

Heat Resistance : Withstands temperatures up to 232°C without melting or degrading. Suitable for welding gloves and tasks involving heat exposure.

Lightweight Strength : Stronger than steel on an equal weight basis, yet lightweight and flexible. Ensures dexterity without compromising protection.

Durability : Resistant to wear and tear, extending glove life in harsh conditions.

Flame Resistance : Does not ignite, making it ideal for fire-resistant gloves.

Limitations

Cost : Generally more expensive than other materials due to its advanced properties.

Limited Chemical Resistance : Not suitable for environments with strong acids or alkalis.

Applications

Industrial Gloves : Used in construction, automotive, and glass handling industries.

Welding Gloves : Protects against sparks, heat, and molten metal.

Cut-Resistant Gloves : Essential in industries like metalworking, and manufacturing.

Military and Tactical Gloves : Provides protection in combat and tactical scenarios while maintaining dexterity.
