Kevlar - super resistant and abrasion material against wear and tear

Kevlar is a heat-resistant and strong synthetic fiber that was developed by DuPont. This high-strength material was used first commercially in the early 1970s as a replacement for steel in racing tires. Typically it is spun into ropes or fabric sheets that can be used as such or as an ingredient in composite material components. Kevlar has many applications, because of its high tensile strength-to-weight ratio; by this measure, it is five times stronger than steel. Kevlar is used for several protective gear items from Powerslide and Ennui.
