Kevlar fabrics for helmets and hard-hats

Technofabric: Custom production of Kevlar fabrics

Kevlar is a synthetic fiber that belongs to the family of aromatic polyamides, also known as aramids. It was invented by Stephanie Kwolek at DuPont in 1965 and has a remarkable combination of high strength, high modulus, toughness and thermal stability. Kevlar is used for various industrial applications, such as cables, asbestos replacement, tires, brake linings, and more.

Kevlar can be woven in a variety of ways and shapes, resulting in lightweight, flexible fabrics that can be used for the production of clothing, accessories, and devices related to individual or industrial safety and protection. For example, Kevlar is used to make bulletproof vests, cut-resistant suits and gloves, reinforcements for motorcyclists' technical clothing, helmets and hard-hats.

Kevlar fabrics for helmets

Kevlar can withstand temperatures up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit and has a tensile strength 10 times higher than steel at the same weight . It can also protect against bullets, cuts, and punctures thanks to its compact and aligned molecular structure. Kevlar is resistant to most organic solvents and chemicals, except strong acids and bases, which makes it durable and resistant to corrosion and degradation. Kevlar can be woven into various fabrics and shapes, depending on the desired end use, which makes it versatile and adaptable to different needs.

One of the major applications of Kevlar is the production of helmets and hard-hats for technical use, such as military, law enforcement, and sports. Helmets made with Kevlar offer several advantages over other materials, such as:

Helmets made with Kevlar are lightweight and comfortable, which can improve mobility and reduce fatigue for the wearer.

These products in Kevlar have superior structural integrity and low back-face deformation, which can enhance survivability in ballistic and non-ballistic impacts

These helmets can protect against a wide range of threats, including submachine-gun bullets, high velocity fragments, and explosion

Helmets made with Kevlar can be combined with other materials, such as Tensylon or CoreMatrix, to provide multi-threat protection and optimal performance-to-weight ratio

Kevlar is a remarkable material that has many industrial applications, especially in the production of helmets and helmets for technical use. It offers a unique combination of properties that make it strong, resistant, flexible, and reliable.

Kevlar fabrics for hard-hats

The main features of Kevlar hard-hats are:

The outer shell made of Kevlar, a very strong and lightweight synthetic fiber that provides good protection against bullets and shrapnel.
These hard-hats are available in two versions: a standard and a throwing version, which differs by a less pronounced ear-covering flap.
Kevlar hard-hats are used by the Italian Armed Forces and other armies around the world
