Kevlar®, invented in 1965 by the Dupont Company, is a strong, durable material that was first created as a replacement for steel in radial tires. It has since been used in a variety of industrial applications. Here are a few of the key attributes that Kevlar provides:

• Low Weight
• High Strength
• Low Electrical Conductivity
• High Chemical Resistance
• Low Thermal Shrinking
• High Cut Resistance
• Heat & Flame Resistant
• Self-Extinguishing

Because of these attributes Kevlar is often seen as one of the most revolutionary inventions of the 20th Century.
