DuPont Personal Protection has recently announced the launch of a new portfolio of patented DuPont™ Kevlar® engineered yarns, which combine cut and heat-resistant soft-spun Kevlar® materials, high-strength inorganic yarns, and elastic stretch-core yarns. Kevlar® engineered yarns can provide industry-leading multi-hazard protection against cut, heat, flame, and electric arc hazards. This versatility is key to providing hand and arm protection which can be used across various job tasks and industries.
Joel DeNardis, global marketing leader, Kevlar® Industrials, said, “We are excited to launch this new line of innovative and multi-hazard Kevlar® engineered yarns. It provides our Kevlar® licensee partners access to a portfolio that includes a range of protection benefits and affordability levels.” Our mission is to provide innovative technology and protection solutions. Every day we strive to deliver the hand and arm protection workers need so they can do their job comfortably and safely, enabling them to go home to their friends, families, and loved ones in the same way, they came to work.”
