Kevlar as a versatile ingredient integrated into other materials — like rubber, resisns, and polymers — to fundamentally change their physical properties.

These are the end-use armor systems and solutions that integrate Tensylon® materials into protective products for users in military, law enforcement, and emergency response. Tensylon® laminates and cores serve as the structural ballistic elements in these products.

Tensylon® bi-directional laminates are the core ballistic materials engineered for hard armor solutions including body armor plates, helmets, shields, and vehicle armor. These materials balance mechanical strength with ballistic performance for protection against rifle and fragment threats.

Body armor with less rigidity and more comfort.

Nomex is the primary material for Turnout Gear used by firefighters and flight suits for military pilots.

High-performance laminate designed to expand the fabrication and protection capabilities of hard armor systems.

Nomex is used as a structural material where weight and fire safety are the primary concerns.
