Welcoming Kevlar® and Nomex® to the Arclin family

Kevlar® EXO fiber made in the U.S.A.

THE MATERIAL THAT REDEFINES WHAT'S POSSIBLE.

Kevlar® EXO is a next-generation fiber innovation to help solve problems that require demanding performance beyond traditional materials.

WHY Kevlar® EXO

STRENGTH, FLEXIBILITY, AND HEAT
RESISTANCE IN ONE FIBER.

PUNCHES FAR ABOVE ITS WEIGHT

Kevlar® EXO bends, folds, and follows complex forms with an extremely high tensile strength relative to its weight.

HEAT RESISTANCE BAKED IN

Kevlar® EXO resists heat and flame without an added coating or treatment. It doesn’t melt.

FLEXES WITH MANY DESIGN NEEDS

Kevlar® EXO fabrics can bend, fold, and follow curves, keeping its state-of-the-art effectiveness in both soft armor and composite builds that can’t stay flat.

Tested to the Max

Kevlar® EXO fiber data is the starting point. The finished build—every layer, seam, and component—must still meet its ballistic, weight, and durability targets.

Defense

ARMOR SHOULD PASS TWO TESTS: STOP THREATS. BE COMFORTABLE.

In soft armor, Kevlar® EXO fiber is used to create flexible and durable fabrics to stop threats and still be comfortable to wear. In hard armor, Kevlar® EXO™ can be used to create lighter weight armor which stops the threat, provides multi hit protection and reduces trauma injuries.

CoreMatrix technology

FIBERS RUN THROUGH IT, NOT JUST ACROSS IT.

With Kevlar® EXO, CoreMatrix uses needle punching to carry short fibers through stacked woven layers. Those through-thickness connections reduce complex stitching and build time while retaining flexibility.
