Kevlar-Filled Wear-Resistant Nylon Sheets
- Color: Yellow
- Temperature Range: -40° to 300° F
- Tensile Strength: 16,000 psi (Excellent)
- Impact Strength: 2.7 ft.-lbs./in. (Good)
- Hardness: Not Rated (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
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.

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.
Create-Your-Own 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 have a temperature range of 0° to 250° F.
Fabric with a twill weave provides equal strength in all directions.
Kevlar fabric is a super-tough material that offers excellent wear and abrasion resistance.
Carbon/Kevlar fabric results in rigid composite parts that have the strength of carbon fiber with the wear resistance of Kevlar.
Wear-Resistant Kevlar Sheets
- Color: Brown
- Max. Temperature: Not Rated
- Tensile Strength: 10,600 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Not Rated
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
Often used as rotor vanes in pumps and compressors, these sheets are made of Kevlar, a super-tough material that stands up to wear and abrasion.
