Kevler Fiber
Introduction To kevler
DuPont(1965)
Stephanie Kwolek
 Charles Smullen
1971, the fiber had been refined and
tested further and was introduced to
the world as Kevlar®.
poly-para-phenylene
terephthalamide
SPINNING PROCESS

Viscous Fluid: They start with a thick, gooey substance called a

"viscous fluid" or a solution of the Kevlar material.

Spinnerets: They force this viscous fluid through tiny holes

called "spinnerets." These spinnerets are like small nozzles.

Solidifying: As the Kevlar material comes out of the spinnerets, it

immediately starts to solidify. It becomes more solid and takes a
thread-like shape.

Resulting Filaments: These thread-like structures are called

"filaments." They are the basic building blocks of Kevlar.
 Properties Of kevlar
Fiber
Kevlar fiber has a high breaking tenacity, which is several
times that of steel wire; it also, has a much higher tensile
modulus than steel wire, fiber glass. Kevlar fiber is inherently
stable at relatively at relatively high temperature and has very
small shrinkage at elevated temperature, low creep and high
glass transition temperature. It is corrosion resistant, non-
conductive and resistant to most chemicals except strong
acids and bases.
 Properties Of kevlar
Fiber
Kevlar fiber and filament come in a variety of types, each with
its own unique set of properties and performance
characteristics for different protection needs.

Kevlar – Tire cord yarn

Kevlar 29 – Multipurpose yarn
Kevlar 49 – High modulus yarn
Kevlar 68 – Moderate modulus yarn
Kevlar 100 – Coloured yarn
Kevlar 119 – High elongation yarn
Kevlar 129 – High tenacity yarn
Kevlar 149 – Ultra high modulus yarn
APPLICATION OF KEVLER FIBER
Sporting Goods: In sports equipment, Kevlar finds application in
making helmets, gloves, and paddings for athletes. These products offer
enhanced protection due to Kevlar's ability to absorb
 Bulletproof Vests: Kevlar is famous for its use in bulletproof vests
and body armor. Military personnel, and even some civilians use this
kind of vests that can stop bullets and other projectiles.
 Aerospace: Kevlar is used in the aerospace industry to reinforce parts
like aircraft components, spacecraft, and satellites. Its high strength-to-
weight ratio helps improve structural integrity while keeping weight
down.
 Cables and Ropes: Due to its high tensile strength, Kevlar is used to
create strong and lightweight cables and ropes.
 Harmful Effects On The
Environment,

 Energy and Resource Intensive Production:* The

manufacturing process of Kevlar involves several energy-intensive steps, which
contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts.
 Chemical Usage:* The production of Kevlar requires the use of various
chemicals, some of which can be hazardous to the environment if not properly managed.
 Waste Generation:* The production of Kevlar can result in the generation of
waste materials and byproducts. Proper handling and disposal of these waste materials are
essential to minimize environmental impacts.
