- ... the axial direction than in the transverse direction. In comparison, graphite fibers are also anisotropic, but glass fibers are isotropic. The tensile modulus and strength of Kevlar 29 is roughly comparable to that of glass (S or E), yet its density is almost half that of glass. Thus, to a first approximation, Kevlar can be substituted for glass where lighter weight is desired. Kevlar 49 or 149 can cut the weight even further if the higher strength is accounted for. Of course, Kevlar's weight savings does come at a price. Kevlar is significantly more expensive than glass. Kevlar has other advantages besides weight and strength. Like graphite, it has a slightly negative axial coefficient of thermal expansion, which ... pulp is a highly fibrillated form of the fiber. The fibrillation results in a high surface area of 7m2/g to 10m2/g. Kevlar pulp is non-brittle, so standard mixing and dispersion equipment won’t affect the fiber size. Kevlar pulp is available in wet-form, ~50% moisture for dilute and dry form, ~6% moisture for solvent-based dispersions and dry mixes. Various sizes and lengths are sold to ...
