175g Satin Weave Kevlar Cloth Fabric (1000mm)

For wet-lay lamination you will use a bit more resin than the weight of the fabric. A typical fibre resin ratio for Aramid based fabrics is 45/55. For example, with a 300gsm cloth, for 1 square metre you will have 300g of fabric and thus will need 367g of resin to wet it out, plus a small amount of wastage for the brush and mixing pot.

No. Our Kevlar Fabric is only available in the classic Kevlar yellow.

We do not currently stock any hybrid pre-pregs either as carbon-aramid mix or pure aramid

Aramid and Diolen laminates can be drilled into using a HSS drill bit designed for drilling steel. Start with a pilot hole and work up the diameter until the desired hole size is achieved. Any aramid/diolen fluff can be cut off with a sharp Stanley blade or scalpel.

No, this material wouldn’t be right. Normally for use in fabric garments, such as motorbike clothing, you need a specialist Aramid/Kevlar textile. Standard composites grade woven cloths are not designed for this application and are normally designed to be impregnated with resin to make a rigid composite material. The range of textiles we would recommend you consider are our Kevlar Protective Textiles which are all designed to be used in these kind of applications. Typically you would use the Loopbacked material as a general protective layer with high risk areas, such as knees, protected by the tougher Fleece.

Yes the cloth is quite fragile until laminated with a resin matrix as intended. If you want a more ‘usable’ kevlar material for use as  dry fabric have a look at our Protective kevlar materials.
