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.

These tubes are made of Kevlar, a super-tough material that stands up to wear and abrasion. Use them as sleeves to protect cords from cuts and gashes.

Often used to build frames and structures, these lightweight sheets combine the strength and stiffness of carbon fiber with the impact resistance of Kevlar. With carbon fiber on the outer layers, these sheets are extremely difficult to bend—they’re nearly as stiff as pure carbon fiber. The carbon fiber layers also provide good strength under tension, comparable to 6061 aluminum. Sandwiched between the carbon fiber layers of these sheets is a Kevlar core. Known for its toughness, the Kevlar core helps prevent sheets from failing under a variety of stresses, such as punctures, cuts, impact, and wear. The Kevlar core also has a lower density than carbon fiber, making these sheets even lighter than sheets made from carbon fiber alone.

Mix these additives with melted plastic, epoxies, or adhesives to make parts stronger and more wear resistant without adding much weight. You can use them in batches to tackle repairs and small parts instead of machining your part from a sheet, bar, or other shape.
