Kevlar

Aramidic synthetic fiber, available under the form of staple or continuous filament yarn. It is resistant to fire, cutting and abrasions. Kevlar is a DuPont brandname. It is used to manufactured sails. In 1992 Murphy&Nye was commissioned to produce the outfits of the “Moro di Venezia” sailing team in the America’s Cup. It was the first to use Kevlar fabrics to create light but at the same time thermal and waterproof garments.
