    Kevlar Fabric

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Inset. Kevlar. Kevlar Fabric, Plain Weave.

    Plain Weave

    Use this resin-free fabric to reinforce or repair existing composites as well as create new composites. Mold custom-shaped composite parts by layering fabric with an epoxy. Finished composite pieces withstand temperatures up to 250° or 350° F.
    Plain Weave—Fabric with a plain weave has fibers that are woven in alternating directions for uniform strength and rigidity in all directions. Easier to machine than fabrics with a unidirectional weave, its woven pattern holds the fibers together to limit splintering. Plain-weave fabric is more rigid and maintains its shape better than twill-weave fabric. However, it is not as strong and easy to manipulate as twill- and triaxial-weave fabric.
    Kevlar Fabric—Kevlar fabric is a super-tough material that offers excellent wear and abrasion resistance.
