    Kevlar Fabric

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

    Twill 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.
    Twill Weave—Fabric with a twill 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. Twill-weave fabric is stronger than plain-weave fabrics. It's also more flexible, making it easier to manipulate into complex shapes. It will not, however, retain its shape as well as plain-weave fabrics.
    Kevlar Fabric—Kevlar fabric is a super-tough material that offers excellent wear and abrasion resistance.

    Twill Weave

    Use these resin-free carbon fiber sheets to reinforce or repair existing composites as well as create new composites. Mold custom-shaped composite parts by layering carbon fiber sheets 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.
    Carbon fiber is the strongest composite we offer.
