Kevlar, like Nomex is also a man-made fiber that was invented by the DuPont Company. Kevlar is five times stronger than an equal mass of steel fiber and it is extremely tough and wear-resistant. It is the perfect example of the power of performance as it is used in many diverse and mission-critical applications. Some of the properties of Kevlar, which was invented in 1965, include: a high tensile strength with low weight, low electrical conductivity and thermal shrinkage, high chemical resistance, high cut resistance, and flame resistance, etc. These properties make it the ideal choice in many applications
