Cut & mechanical protection


 
 
 

Pushing the boundaries of protection

 
 
 
 
 
 

Patented Kevlar® engineered yarns combine cut-resistant soft-spun Kevlar® materials, high-strength inorganic yarns and elastic stretch-core yarns to deliver the best balance of protection and comfort.

Only gloves made with Kevlar® engineered yarns are able to increase the level of protection—without adding bulk—providing enhanced breathability to increase comfort. This technology provides users the comfort and dexterity to make doing their job easier and the superior cut protection to do their job confidently.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Innovation is our common thread

 

The DuPont™ Kevlar® Innovation Award recognizes excellence in innovation and design of protective gloves made with Kevlar® and gives innovators the opportunity to showcase the incredible ways they use Kevlar® to make our world a safer place.
