Kevlar

Kevlar is a synthetic aramid fiber developed by DuPont, known for its exceptional strength and lightness. This fiber is commonly used in protective clothing, composites, and various industrial applications. Kevlar offers high tensile strength, is temperature-resistant, and durable against cuts and abrasion.

Kevlar-Nomex Blended Fabric

Kevlar-Nomex blended fabric is a special composite material that combines the exceptional properties of Kevlar and Nomex. Kevlar is known for its high tensile strength and cut resistance, while Nomex is recognized for its excellent heat resistance and flame-retardant properties. The result is a fabric that is both extremely durable and heat-resistant, making it ideal for many demanding applications across various industries.

Keyed chuck

A keyed chuck, also called a keyed chuck or keyed chuck, is a clamping device used in drill presses and lathes to securely hold drill bits or other tools. These chucks are known for their stability and precision and are commonly used in metalworking, mechanical engineering, and woodworking.
