Often used for wear strips, bushings, and other parts that are continuously exposed to wear and abrasion, these nylon 6/6 rods are filled with Kevlar to last up to 20 times longer than unfilled nylon. They’re also stronger than glass-filled nylon and withstand higher temperatures. This material is frequently called Hydlar Z.

Designed for extreme wear resistance, these nylon 6/6 sheets are filled with Kevlar to last up to 20 times longer than unfilled nylon. They’re also stronger than glass-filled nylon and withstand higher temperatures. Known as Hydlar Z, this material is often used for parts that are continuously exposed to wear and abrasion, such as wear strips and bushings.

Use these resin-free fabrics to reinforce or repair existing composites as well as create new composites. Mold custom-shaped composite parts by layering your choice of fabric with an epoxy. The epoxy (sold separately) is a two-part resin that begins to harden in 15 hours and reaches full strength in 4 days. Finished composite pieces withstand temperatures up to 250° or 350° F.

Fabrics with a plain, twill, or triaxial weave have fibers that are woven in alternating directions for uniform strength and rigidity in all directions. Easier to machine than fabrics with a unidirectional weave, their woven pattern holds the fibers together to limit splintering. Twill-weave fabrics are stronger than plain-weave fabrics. They’re also more flexible, making them easier to manipulate into complex shapes. They will not, however, retain their shape as well as plain-weave fabrics.

Kevlar fabrics are a super-tough material that offers excellent wear and abrasion resistance.
