Cut Resistant Kevlar® — Because Safety Is No Accident
Most industrial accidents can be avoided, so when workers do get in harm’s way, Kevlar® Cut Protection can make all the difference.
For thousands of workers in the aerospace, electronics, metal fabrication, glass handling and automotive industries, the most crucial thing in the world is safety. Manufacturers’ gloves, sleeves, and garments made with Kevlar® brand fiber helps provide the cut-resistant protection these workers need. These garments are extraordinarily strong, lightweight, and resistant to both cuts and abrasion, helping those who rely on Kevlar® to get through the task at hand. Outside of factories, lumberjacks, builders, and skilled-labor workers make it a practice to use boots and leggings reinforced with Kevlar® to help protect their legs and feet.
For work environments that require even greater cut protection, or demand increased cleanliness, or enhanced touch and feel for the handling of small, intricate parts, manufacturers’ products with DuPont™ Kevlar® include:
- Kevlar® Clean Technology . Offers low linting and contamination properties in environments where cleanliness and protection are important.
- Kevlar® Armor Technology . For excellent cut protection without compromising comfort and manual dexterity in critical environments where the potential for cuts and slashes is high.
- Kevlar® Stretch Armor Technology . Offers similar cut protection as Kevlar® Armor for workers requiring high-level cut protection with improved comfort, and dexterity.
