What Makes Kevlar® an Industrial Standard
DuPont™ Kevlar® para-aramid fiber — five times stronger than steel by weight. Used in cut-resistant gloves, aluminized garment stitching, and high-tenacity woven fabric for industrial PPE.

Why We Use Kevlar® in Our Products
Achieves EN 388 cut level D through F in gloves and sleeves — suitable for sheet metal, glass, cable and sharp edge environments where lower cut levels are insufficient.
Kevlar® delivers maximum cut protection at minimal weight — garments feel like normal workwear, improving compliance and reducing hand fatigue across long shifts.
As a meta-aramid, Kevlar® will not melt or drip under flame. In Kevlar®-reinforced FR garments, the cut resistance supplement does not compromise the base FR performance.
