Kevlarszer

Kevlarszer is a proprietary designation used to describe a class of advanced protective composites marketed for ballistic protection and impact resistance. In marketing and some technical sheets, it is presented as an aramid-based laminate that delivers high energy absorption with relatively low weight. There is no universally standardized formulation for Kevlarszer.

Construction varies by manufacturer, but most formulations combine aramid fiber reinforcement with a polymer or ceramic matrix to form laminates or sandwich panels. Some variants emphasize soft-armor properties (flexible fabrics) while others use hard panels with ceramic inserts to improve blunt impact resistance.

Key properties typically cited include high tensile strength, high impact energy absorption, and low density, with good thermal stability and abrasion resistance. Common applications include personal protective equipment such as vests and helmets, as well as vehicle and aircraft armor panels and protective casings for industrial equipment.

Manufacturing uses established composite processing techniques such as resin infusion or prepreg layup followed by curing. Performance is assessed using ballistic testing and backface signature measurements according to applicable standards, which vary by region and application.
