Typically kevlar is spun into ropes or fabric sheets that can be used as such or as an ingredient in composite material components.
Currently, Kevlar has many applications, ranging from bicycle tires and racing sails to body armor because of its high tensile strength-to-weight ratio; by this measure it is 5 times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis.
It is also used to make modern drumheads that hold up withstanding high impact.
When used as a woven material, it is suitable for mooring lines and other underwater applications.
