Azwed said:Chain, Plate or Kevlar?
RawHumor said:They make body armor out of Kevlar? That's gotta be pretty expensive.
Azwed said:Yeah I have seen pictures of full body armor for rangers made of kevlar and ceramics that covered just about the entire body but can't find a picture.
This is the closest I could find.

RawHumor said:It's also used as a reinforcement for automotive hoses. I think we pay around $20/lb for it.
huskie said:How many companies make it? and do they all form it for other applications or send it to other companies for that??
RawHumor said:I don't know that part. I know that there's at least 2 or 3 companies that we deal with, but there's probably more than that.
huskie said:still $20 lbs!!!! sounds like theres room for more compitition?

Texan said:Kevlar is a E.I.Dupont deNemours registered trademark for poly-para-phenylene terephthalamide. It is a chemical compound usually extruded as a fiber and woven into a sort-of fabric. It can also be molded or machined.
It is primarily know for having an extremely high ITS (initial tear strength) while maintaining a relatively high CTS (continued tear strength).
I hope this helps.
