1. Aramid Fiber & Kevlar: Overview

Aramid fiber (aromatic polyamide) is a class of heat-resistant and strong synthetic fibers. Kevlar is the most well-known brand name for aramid fiber, developed by DuPont. At Impact Materials, we supply both branded Kevlar and generic aramid fiber products to meet diverse budget and performance requirements.

Key Properties:

  • Tensile Strength: 3,620 MPa (Kevlar 49), 2,760 MPa (Kevlar 29)
  • Heat Resistance: Up to 450°C (842°F) continuous, 500°C intermittent
  • Denier Range: 200D, 1000D, 1500D, 3000D
  • Applications: Ballistic protection, cut-resistant gloves, fire-resistant clothing, aerospace

4. FAQ

Q: What is the difference between Kevlar 29 and Kevlar 49?

A: Kevlar 29 is optimized for ballistic protection and cut resistance. Kevlar 49 has higher modulus and is used for structural applications requiring high stiffness.

Q: What is the maximum temperature for aramid fiber?

A: Aramid fiber can withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 450°C (842°F) and intermittent exposure up to 500°C without melting or significant degradation.

Q: Do you provide ballistic certification?

A: Yes! Our ballistic grade aramid fabrics come with NIJ certification documentation. MTC includes tensile strength and ballistic test results.

Q: Do you offer free samples?

A: Yes! Impact Materials provides free A4-sized samples (210×297mm) for evaluation. Standard samples ship within 3-5 days via express courier.
