I have 13 sheets of 4' x 8' 5/16" rigid kevlar.
1901 Christmas tree lights are introduced by Edison General Electric Co. The first facelift is performed by Eugene Hollander in Berlin on a Polish aristocrat. First time getaway car is used by 3 bank robbers in Paris. |

Try "CST" (Composite Structures Technology), their website: [url]www.cstsales.com[/url] They have everything you're looking for, including epoxy resins, vaccuum bagging materials, etc. Hope this helps, havoc |

Quoted: MR WOLF, I just wanted to ask, what are you going to do with the kevlar? i had an idea to make kevlar boxers a few years back :) ... I've come up with a design for a ballistic vest friendly with the use of a LBV. In this case the matrix will be the key, also I'm developing a process for preforming the fiber for a more custom fit to my "contours". ... Thanks for the help guys. |

Do not apply any resin to the kevlar. This will reduce the ballistic properties. Spectra fiber from Honeywell (developed by the company they bought out who I can't remeber at the moment)would be the hot ticket if you can get your hands on it. I think it is only available to those "in the trade".

You are right, you don't want the fiber to shear (as it would with a tough resin) but rather deflect in a bending moment finally transforming the Kevlar and trapping the projectile exploiting the materials' superb tensile properties. Ah, after hours engineeing projects while sipping red wine. ... Too fun! |
