Kevlar fabric for cut-proof garments, coveralls and footwear
Technofabric: Custom production of Kevlar fabric

Kevlar is an aramid synthetic fiber invented in 1965 by Stephanie Kwolek, a researcher at DuPont. Its main characteristic is its high mechanical tensile strength, so much so that at the same weight, it is 5 times stronger than steel.
To produce Kevlar, a solution of aromatic polymers in an organic solvent is used. This solution is then spun through a very small hole die, resulting in thin, elongated fibers. The fibers are then washed, dried, and subjected to a heat treatment to stabilize and orient them.
The anti-cutting Kevlar fabric for clothing is composed of aramid synthetic fibers that have high mechanical resistance to tension. To produce Kevlar, a solution of aramid polymers is spun through a die to form the fibers. The fibers are then heat-treated to increase their strength and rigidity.
Anti-cut Kevlar is a type of Kevlar that is reinforced with other materials such as high-density polyethylene or fiberglass. These materials increase the fabric's resistance to tearing and puncturing. Anti-cut Kevlar can be used in the production of clothing, accessories, and devices related to safety and ballistic and cut protection. For example, Kevlar fabric is used to make cut-resistant garments, suits, and footwear.
Kevlar fabric is a synthetic fiber with a yellow-gold color and extremely high strength. Due to this, Kevlar fabrics are very durable and ideal for making protective clothing and reinforcements. Kevlar withstands tension, impacts, heat, and flames very well; it also absorbs vibrations effectively and is lightweight and flexible.
Cut-proof Kevlar fabrics can be used for the production of protective garments, technical clothing for motorcyclists, industrial equipment, and products in the nautical sector. Some examples of the use of anti-cut Kevlar are:
Automotive industry: Kevlar is used to coat and reinforce the tires of cars and other vehicles, to produce timing belts, as a coating for sleeves and gaskets, and as a substitute for asbestos in brake and clutch linings.
Cut-proof clothing: Kevlar is used to produce protective clothing. This type of clothing is suitable for workers, police officers, and military personnel who face constant danger.
Nautical sector: Kevlar is used to make sails, ropes, cables, and parachutes that must withstand the stresses of wind and water.
Kevlar Fabric for motorcyclists' technical gear
The production of Kevlar fabrics for reinforcements in technical clothing for motorcyclists generally occurs through an industrial weaving process.
Kevlar fabrics can then be treated with finishing processes to improve properties such as water resistance, sunlight resistance, and tensile strength. Once produced, Kevlar fabrics are used to reinforce critical points of technical clothing for motorcyclists, such as knees, elbows, and shoulders, thereby increasing resistance to abrasion and tearing.
