Organic Fiber- Kevlar Uses
Uses of Aramid Fiber
- Bullet proof vests, armor for ships and motorized combat vehicles.
- Battlefield shelters because of good antiballistic properties
- Slippage that occurs between the matrix and the fiber which is enhanced by sizing the fibers.
- Leading edges of wings and other structures where impact damage might be expected.
- Pressure vessels
Ultrahigh orientation polyethylene fibers
- PE fiber that has excellent strength to weight and modulus fibers
- Approximately the same strength and modulus as Aramid
- Higher specific modulus and strength due to low density
- Solvent resistant superior to aramid
- Thermal resistance is less than aramid
