Plain Weave 50" Kevlar is ideal for impact-resistant applications that call for excellent specific tensile strength and minimum weight, in plain weave form is the most popular in composites. Although it is slightly stiff for highly contoured molds, it offers uniform properties, maximum stability, and simple surfacing characteristics.
Its good stiffness, light weight, and high abrasion resistance make it a great selection for applications that include kayaks, canoes, high-speed boats, aircraft fuselage panels, pressure vessels, sporting equipment, wind turbines, and much more. Generally, though, KEVLAR is not suited for applications that call for compressive strength.
