Para-Aramid (Kevlar type) is a synthetic fiber known for its incredibly high tensile strength-to-weight ratio. It is five times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis.
Key Properties
- Ultra-high tensile strength
- High modulus and low elongation
- Excellent thermal stability
- Good chemical resistance
Typical Applications
Used in bulletproof vests and helmets, aerospace composites, ballistic armor, and high-performance sporting goods.
