Advantages of Aramid Kevlar

 

Exceptional strength
The para-aramid fiber known as "Kevlar" has a relative density of 1.44 and a tensile strength of about 3,620 MPa. This makes it strong while remaining lightweight.Kevlar's chemical structure is made up of several repeating inter-chain bonds. Due to the hydrogen bonding in these chains, their tensile strength is 10 times greater than steel's for equal weight.

 

Zero thermal shrinkage
Kevlar retains its strength and resilience down to cryogenic temperatures (196C), implying that there is no embrittlement at such low temperatures.It can also withstand temperatures of up to 450C. It becomes a little bit stronger at cold temperatures. The tensile strength diminishes by around 1020% right away at higher temperatures and continues to decline over time.

 

Heat and Flame Resistance
After more than 200 days of exposure to heat, such as hot water, Kevlar fiber can remain virtually unchanged. Kevlar is naturally flame resistant, withstanding temperatures of up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit.

 

Resistant to tearing and stretching
Because of their high resistance to impact damage, aramid fibers are frequently used in areas prone to impact.Kevlar fiber's completely expanded and well-aligned molecular chains act as a powerful barrier to prevent wounds, scratches, and pricks.It is resistant to almost all types of chemicals, giving it the properties of high cut resistance.

 

High-velocity defense
Kevlar fibers are so tightly spun that separation is nearly impossible. When a bullet or other high-velocity projectile strikes Kevlar, the fibers absorb and dissipate the energy.

Application of Aramid Kevlar
 

Coated aramid fabric and protective clothing
Coated aramid fabric is commonly used in the production of protective clothing. Its high puncture resistance and heat tolerance make it perfect for producing body armor, cut-resistant gloves, firefighting uniforms, and spacesuits.

 

Aerospace and automotive industries
In the aerospace and automotive industries, where strength-to-weight ratio is a key concern, Kelvar is often used. Its lightweight, high-strength characteristics make it ideal for producing parts that withstand high stress and impact.

 

Sports equipment
Coated aramid fabric's high tensile strength and puncture resistance make it a valuable material in sports equipment like racing sails, bicycle tires, and high-performance gear.

 

Industrial applications
Coated aramid fabrics come into play in industries where equipment must withstand harsh conditions. These fabrics make heat-resistant and cut-resistant covers, conveyor belts, and high-pressure hoses.

 

Coated aramid fabric and electronics
Kelvar is also used in the electronics industry due to its excellent thermal, chemical, and dimensional stability.

 

Aramid Kevlar Fabric

 

Composition and Structure of Aramid Kevlar

Kevlar belongs to a class of synthetic fibers known as aromatic polyamides, or aramids. The chemical structure of Kevlar consists of long, rod-like polymer chains that are highly oriented and hydrogen-bonded, creating a rigid and tightly packed fiber. This molecular arrangement gives Kevlar its extraordinary strength and heat resistance.

 

Para-Aramid: Kevlar is a para-aramid, meaning the amide groups (-CO-NH-) in its polymer chain are linked at the para positions (1,4 positions) of the benzene rings. This arrangement provides the fiber with high mechanical strength and stiffness.

 

Hydrogen Bonds: The strong hydrogen bonds between the polymer chains enhance Kevlar's rigidity and stability, making it resistant to stretching and deforming under stress.

FAQ

Q: Is aramid the same as Kevlar?

A: Yes, Kevlar is a type of aramid fiber.

Q: Is Kevlar expensive to manufacture?

A: Kevlar production is expensive because of the difficulties arising from using concentrated sulfuric acid, needed to keep the water-insoluble polymer in solution during its synthesis and spinning.

Q: Can aramid fiber stop a bullet?

A: Para-aramid fibres show high tensile strength at low stretching. This results in excellent ballistic protective characteristics against a wide range of bullet types. It also results in remarkable survivability from contact with chemicals and impressive melt-resistance against exposure to high heat or fire.

Q: Is aramid fiber waterproof?

A: Aramid fiber itself is not waterproof, but it can be treated or combined with other materials to create water-resistant or waterproof products.

Q: Can aramid fiber be recycled?

A: Aramid fiber is recyclable but challenging due to its complex chemical structure. Research and development efforts are ongoing to explore potential recycling methods.

Q: What is the difference between aramid and carbon fiber?

A: Aramid fiber vs carbon fiber are both high-performance materials, but they have distinct properties. Aramid fiber excels in heat resistance, flame resistance, and impact resistance, while carbon fiber is renowned for its high strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness.

Q: What is the lifespan of Kevlar?

A: Take a look at the manufacturer's recommendation for the service life for your Kevlar. Many vests and ballistics materials have a service life of five years. Do not use Kevlar after its service life is up, and dispose of Kevlar appropriately.

Q: Can free samples be provided? What is the time needed?

A: Yes, of course. We can provide free samples and we will send the samples within 24 hours.

Q: What is the delivery time?

A: The delivery time is based on the quantity you need. For example, for one 40’ HQ container, we need 10 days from production and packing to delivery.
