What are Kevlar's properties?
Kevlar is a man made organic fibre that it is extremely strong and tough. Indeed, it is up to five times stronger than steel. When submerged in water, Kevlar can become up to 20 times stronger than steel. It can also withstand temperatures up to 300°C while still retaining its strength properties. Even at -196°C, Kevlar shows no signs of loss of strength. Almost all solvents are ineffective at corroding Kevlar except some very powerful acids. Kevlar, however is known to degrade when exposed to UV radiation.

What everyday things are made from kevlar?
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.
