Kevlar® Fabric
Kevlar® is the aramid fabric you reach for when the laminate has to take abuse: canoe and kayak hulls that get dragged over rock, rub strakes, keel bands, sprint hulls and any panel that sees impact rather than pure bending load. It is tougher and lighter than glass, it does not shatter on impact, and it stays in one piece where carbon would crack.
This collection carries Kevlar 49 cloth in the three industry styles that cover most marine work, Kevlar tape for seams, chines and rub strips, and carbon and Kevlar hybrid fabrics that pair carbon stiffness with aramid toughness in one ply. All of it wets out with epoxy or vinyl ester. Cut it with a dedicated aramid shear, listed at the end of this page; ordinary scissors will not get through it cleanly.
- 1.7 oz style 120 plain weave for surface skins and light reinforcement
- 5 oz style 281 plain weave tape in 2, 3 and 6 in widths for seams, chines and rub strips
- 5 oz style 285 four-harness satin, 38 and 60 in, for compound curves and hull bottoms
- Carbon and Kevlar hybrid weaves for parts that need both stiffness and impact resistance
Choosing between styles? The Kevlar fabric guide for boat work walks through weight and weave. Want the carbon look with aramid toughness? See the full range of carbon Kevlar hybrid fabrics.
