This document discusses applications of aramid fibers such as Twaron, Nomex, Kevlar, and Technora. It outlines that Twaron is used in filaments, fabrics, laminates, staple fibers, paper, and pulp due to its strength, heat and flame resistance. Nomex is used in lightweight, comfortable clothing as well as industrial and aerospace applications because of its thermal and chemical resistance. Kevlar is commonly used in bulletproof vests and vehicle armor due to its strength and lightweight properties. It is also used in cut-resistant gloves, tires, sports equipment, and brakes. Technora is applied in transmission belts, hoses, ropes, and cables for its high strength and

18. KEVLAR TYRES :
Kevlar is used as a reinforcement material for racing car tyres and bicycle tyres.
It helps to reduce puncture rate.
•The best example of Kevlar reinforced car tyre is American
President’s car “The Beast”. It’s tyres are so strong even a bullet can not penetrate into
it.

19. Sports equipment
 Kevlar is used in making of various sports equipment due to light weight
and strength.
 These includes tennis, table tennis, badminton, squash rackets, cricket
bats and hockey sticks.
 sport shoes,, gloves, racquets, motor sport helmets etc are also madeup
from Kevlar.

21. Brakes
 Asbestos brake pads were initially used in vehicles but dust
produced from these brakes pads is toxic that’s why chopped
Kevlar fiber has been used as a replacement for asbestos in
brake pads.
