The quality<\/strong> of an heat-resistant product depends above all on the materials used.<\/strong> However, we are not only thinking about leathers or fabrics, the threads used for the seams also have an enormous importance in the level of protection offered to the user.<\/p>\n

And this is where one of the unquestioned protagonists in our production of heat-resistant gloves and garments comes into play: Kevlar thread.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kevlar thread: what is it and what is it used for?<\/h2>\n

Kevlar thread is a synthetic para-aramid fiber resistant to heat and mechanical hazards.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The production process of Kevlar takes place in the laboratory through a series of chemical reactions, which generate fibers suitable for the manufacture of different types of items, both for outdoor activities and for safety.<\/p>\n

In fact, it is used not only for the production of safety equipment at work, but also in the military or extreme sports, where dangerous situations are the order of the day.<\/p>\n

The properties of Kevlar thread<\/b><\/h2>\n

The synthetic fibers of this type of thread have extraordinary qualities:<\/p>\n

1. Toughness and resistance to tearing<\/strong><\/p>\n

This material is five times stronger than steel, since it is almost impossible to be able to separate its fibers in the event of an impact.<\/p>\n

2. Lightness<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kevlar fibers combine a high strength factor with extreme lightness.<\/p>\n

3. Flame resistance<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has a heat capacity that allows it, when exposed to heat, to withstand temperatures up to 450 \u00b0C, beginning to lose its consistency only above 500 \u00b0C . Kevlar fibers do not melt, drip or promote combustion. In addition, as a synthetic fiber it has high abilities to maintain its molecular composition even when subjected to chemicals and solvents.<\/p>\n
