Kutting UK Ltd., a leader in the manufacture of thermoplastic high pressure hoses for the offshore oil and gas industry, recently decided to switch all its aramid-based products to DuPont™ Kevlar® brand fibre, helping their company to develop the next generation of very-high-working-pressure-, high-temperature- and high-collapse-resistant hoses demanded by the industry.

DuPont™ Kevlar® fibers are used to help provide strength, flexibility, and lightweight protection in everything from yarns and woven ballistic fabrics to ropes and apparel.
Kevlar® AP for Advanced Performance dramatically improves cost-effectiveness and design flexibility to help manufacturers build leaner, more robust consumer and industrial products. Discover the benefits of this next-generation fiber that builds on the excellent strength, exceptional quality, proven performance, and lightweight qualities of Kevlar® brand fiber.
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.
