DuPont Develops New Performance-Enhanced Kevlar Variant Fibers

DuPont, USA, has developed a new DuPont Kevlar variant fiber called Advanced Performance (AP) fiber. The first Kevlar K29 AP to be put into the market is the fiber suitable for applications in the oil and gas and construction industries. DuPont stated that Kevlar K29 AP has a 15% increase in strength over standard K29 ​​fiber, and the product has a very wide denier coefficient.

“Because of its light weight, good strength, dimensional stability, corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and other unique properties, Kevlar fiber can be used to strengthen and strengthen many products.” Thomas G., president of DuPont Protective Technologies. Powell said, “In many applications, customers can use less fiber to achieve the same or even better results. This is what our customers are eager to innovate, confirming our commitment in the high-performance raw material market.”
