Aramid Fibre (Kevlar): Extreme Performance for Demanding Applications
At Iberia Compositech Manufacturing, we specialise in the production of advanced components made from aramid fibre, a high-performance material used in sectors where impact resistance, lightweight design, and durability are essential.
Aramid fibre is a synthetic, high-strength material belonging to the family of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP). Commercially known under brand names such as Kevlar®, aramid fibre is renowned for its exceptional mechanical resistance, even under extreme conditions involving impact, heat, or chemical exposure.
Thanks to its unique molecular structure, aramid fibre offers an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, making it an ideal solution for critical environments.
Applications of Aramid Fibre (Kevlar)
At Iberia Compositech, we use aramid fibre to manufacture custom technical components for industries such as:
- Defence: ballistic protection, lightweight armour, helmets, shields, and structural panels.
- Aerospace and aeronautics: components exposed to vibration and high temperatures.
- Automotive and motorsport: fairings, structural reinforcements, and lightweight, high-performance parts.
- Industrial sectors: components requiring resistance to abrasion, high temperatures, or mechanical stress.
- The Benefits of Aramid Fibre in FRP
When used as reinforcement in polymer matrices (FRP), aramid fibre provides
- Excellent impact and tensile strength
- Low density, reducing overall part weight
- High thermal stability
- Reliable performance under extreme conditions
Combined with epoxy resins or other advanced matrices, aramid fibre enables the creation of high-value composite materials tailored to specific performance requirements.
