Sports

As a polymer material with superior performance, Kevlar also has many great applications in sports, which is a material to make racquets, racecars, and canoes.

Kevlar strings

Unlike traditional strings, Kevlar strings are not easy to stretch, stiff, wear-resistant, and highly durable, and they are usually used in heavy hitting. That characteristic is suitable for people who want the string dead, neutral feel. If someone doesn’t want to change his strings frequently, then the Kevlar would be a great choice.

Kevlar racecar

In the Auto Racing area, Kevlar is replacing fiberglass-reinforced plastic to make race-car bodies and air dams because it has low density. Moreover, unlike glass, Kevlar is very tough, and it is difficult to be shattered, which protects people to a certain degree.

The picture shows RC F Carbon Kevlar racecar, which is good at drifting. Darhan and his team worked hard to make the car extremely light, eventually using carbon fiber Kevlar body panels, which made the car just 1,250 kilograms.

Kevlar canoe

Canoes made with Kevlar are lighter, allowing riders to operate them better, and Kevlar's excellent impact resistance makes Kevlar very durable and strong. In addition, Kevlar can be used not only in the body of the boat but also in the use of the paddle, which can improve the stiffness of the paddle and impact resistance.

Hockey helmet

Because Kevlar material can have greater impact resistance while maintaining a certain lightness, and the high rigidity modulus can protect the human body from injury to a certain extent, Kevlar can also be used as a hockey helmet.
