Only DuPont’s Hard Armor solutions meet the most demanding requirements of the most demanding jobs. Helmets made with Kevlar® and Tensylon® are lightweight and deliver superior structural integrity.

Kevlar® woven fabrics

Highly customizable, lightweight yarn patterns available in many deniers and finishes for high tenacity, high performance ballistic applications with superior modulus and shape retention. 

Kevlar® laminates for multi-threat protection

Lightweight fabrics that provide outstanding stab, spike and ballistic performance. 

Kevlar® prepregs

Outstanding multi-hit protection, bolt-bearing strength and exceptional performance in extreme temperatures for high tenacity, high modulus, hard armor applications.  

Tensylon®

World-class armor solution with an optimal balance of performance, weight and cost for multiple end-use applications. Very low back-face deformation to minimize the injury impact to the wearer.  Ideal for use in lightweight military helmets.

 
 
 

Shields made with Kevlar® and Tensylon® provide protection against several threats while weighing up to 50% less than steel-based shields.
