Dupont Kevlar® is considered the most important man-made fiber discovery since nylon. No other fiber has its unique combination of properties, and while it is known first and foremost for cut protection, Kevlar® also protects against thermal burn. In fact, it will not melt or drip around open flame, making it one of the top choices for welding, glass plants, refineries, and so on. Kevlar® thread has become the industry standard for dramatically improving seam strength and flame resistance in cut-and-sewn gloves, particularly ones designed for high-heat applications involving the threat of open flame. And, finally, when it comes to preventing injury, Kevlar® is without question an economical choice. Lost-time injuries are dramatically reduced, but ultimately, it is the avoidance of human suffering through the proper protection that has earned Kevlar® it's place at the top in the world of hand protection.
