DuPont launches ‘Advanced Performance’ Kevlar

14/10/2009

DuPont has introduced a new ‘Advanced Performance’ (AP) version of its Kevlar fibres to serve what it calls “an ongoing need for higher performing materials in industrial applications”.

The Kevlar AP product line is based on a new technology platform that increases performance compared to standard Kevlar fibres and can result in cost savings and greater design flexibility for manufacturers. The first offering in the new line is Kevlar K29 AP.

Kevlar K29 AP is available in a range of deniers with up to 15% higher strength than standard K29, which DuPont says will give manufacturers greater design flexibility. It now is available for new product testing and development applications globally.
