For hot surface contact hazards present in metal and glass forming foundries, DuPont created terry cloth made of Kevlar® fibre for use in heat-resistant gloves. Heavyweight gloves and mitts composed of 100% Kevlar® terry cloth and Kevlar® blends help offer a high level of protection for high-heat applications.
Because low-contamination environments can also present many hazards that can result in burns, cuts, and gashes, DuPont created Kevlar® Clean Technology — it is a low-lint continuous filament fibre that helps offer superior protection while reducing contaminants.
For thousands of workers in the aerospace, electronics, metal fabrication, glass handling and automotive industries, cut-resistant protection accessories made of Kevlar® fibre help provide the strength they need to do the job in hand.
For high-risk operations that involve sharp metal, glass hazards and abrasives, DuPont created Kevlar® Armor Technology. Used in the manufacture of protective gloves and garments, it helps manufacturers address the highest cut performance standards.
DuPont™ Molten Metal Man is a unique test facility that enables manufacturers to test how their fabrics protect wearers against liquid metal splashes.
