The use of Kevlar engineered yarns helps enable manufacturers to increase the level of protection without significantly increasing weight and thickness. The materials are also designed to help deliver enhanced breathability and moisture management. These characteristics can contribute to greater comfort and dexterity across a variety of industries, from automotive to manufacturing and utilities, DuPont said in a media release.
“We’re excited to launch this new line of innovative and multi-hazard Kevlar engineered yarns. It provides our Kevlar licensee partners access to a portfolio that includes a range of protection benefits as well as affordability levels,” said Joel DeNardis, global marketing leader, Kevlar Industrials. “Our mission is to provide innovative technology and protection solutions. Every day we strive to deliver the hand and arm protection workers need so they can do their job comfortably and safely, enabling them to go home to their friends, families, and loved ones in the same way they came to work.”
To address specific needs across industries, the Kevlar engineered yarns portfolio delivers next-generation performance across 3 new brands – Kevlar Xtreme, Kevlar Comfort, and Kevlar Essential yarns. Kevlar Xtreme is for workers facing the most high-risk hazards, and helps deliver multi-hazard protection against cut, heat, flame and arc flash hazards. Kevlar Comfort engineered yarns help provide comfort, soft touch and dexterity without sacrificing cut and heat protection. Kevlar Essential engineered yarns help provide reliable and affordable cut and heat protection with superior breathability for use in lighter duty applications.
DuPont Kevlar fibre – with its lightweight, durable, and extraordinary strength – is used to make a variety of PPE solutions that provide both mechanical and thermal resistance.
