DuPont and Aero Tec Laboratories (ATL) Announce Groundbreaking Collaboration in Racing Industry
Kevlar® EXO™ is a completely reimagined, next-generation aramid fiber that enables unparalleled levels of strength, flexibility, durability and flame resistance. Designed for the most critical applications, Kevlar® EXO™ provides the performance to overcome the most demanding challenges—including fuel bladder solutions for the aerospace, aviation and automotive industries.
High speeds demand higher performance
From increasing escape time to getting around the track in less time, Kevlar® EXO™ makes every second count. When used to protect fuel bladders, the lightweight, flexible and incredible heat and flame resistance of Kevlar® EXO™ is revolutionizing driver and fuel tank safety in F1 cars.
Incorporating Kevlar® EXO™ in fuel bladder designs provides crucial protection against punctures and impacts during intense racing conditions.
Advantages
Flame resistant
With its inherent flame and temperature resistance, Kevlar® EXO™ won’t catch fire or melt*, for extreme performance in extreme conditions.
*Inherently flame-resistant, heat-resistant, does not melt. Decomposition temperature greater than 500ºC.
Flexible
When paired with exceptional carrier design, the pliability of Kevlar® EXO™ helps even the most complex design applications take shape.
Lightweight
Kevlar® EXO™ enables performance and weight comparable to high-end polyethylene materials with the added flexibility of para-aramids.
Durable
Kevlar® EXO™ is rigorously tested and proven to give you the same level of protection after five years of use that it does on day one.
The science behind the performance
Kevlar® EXO™ builds on the legendary performance of Kevlar®. Literally. By adding a third monomer to the existing two in Kevlar®, the enhanced molecular alignment of Kevlar® EXO™ can provide levels of strength and durability never before seen in an aramid fiber.
A new era of innovation
Developed and tested by leading materials experts at DuPont, Kevlar® EXO™ is more than a material, it’s an invitation to redefine what’s possible for a range of industries. Discover how Kevlar® EXO™ enables high-performance ballistic protection with levels of flexibility and comfort that were once thought to be impossible.
Pushing the limits of possibility
Kevlar® EXO™ is a completely reimagined, next-generation aramid fiber that enables unparalleled levels of strength, flexibility, durability and flame resistance. From high-risk environments to the most extreme applications, Kevlar® EXO™ is ready to help redefine what’s possible.
