High-performance Kevlar-grade aramid fabric, felt, UD, honeycomb, and yarn for ballistic, thermal and industrial applications.
Para-aramid offers an unmatched combination of strength, heat resistance and low weight — critical for defense, aerospace and industrial protection.
Tensile strength of 3,600 MPa — 5× stronger than steel at the same weight — enabling lightweight ballistic protection and structural reinforcement.
Decomposes above 500°C without melting or dripping. Maintains structural integrity in extreme thermal environments including engine bays and industrial furnaces.
Excellent energy absorption on impact. The material of choice for NIJ IIIA soft armor vests, ballistic helmets, hard plate backing layers and vehicle armoring.
Density of just 1.44 g/cm³ — significantly lighter than steel, glass fiber and carbon fiber — enabling thinner, lighter protective structures without sacrificing performance.
Resistant to organic solvents, oils, fuels and most industrial chemicals. Long-term durability in harsh chemical processing and marine environments.
LOI exceeding 29% with no fire-retardant additives. Self-extinguishing, no melt-drip — the standard material for structural firefighting suits and proximity gear.
Hangzhou Impact New Materials Co., Ltd is a leading OEM manufacturer and bulk supplier of para-aramid fiber products in China. Our production lines cover all major aramid product forms: chopped fiber, woven fabric, non-woven felt, honeycomb core sheets, UD composite panels and continuous yarn — all using Kevlar®-equivalent para-aramid raw fiber.
We export to 50+ countries including USA, Germany, Israel, South Korea and Australia. Free samples, full material test reports and custom specifications are available within 5 business days.
Six product forms covering the full spectrum of para-aramid applications — from short-cut fiber for friction materials to finished UD ballistic panels.
Para-aramid is the material backbone of modern personal protection, aerospace structures and industrial safety equipment.

Structural firefighting suits, gloves and proximity suits where inherent flame resistance and heat insulation are mandatory.
Interior panels, engine nacelles, honeycomb sandwich structures and lightweight structural components for aircraft and satellites.
Tire cord, brake pads, gaskets, heat shields and composite body panels for racing and performance vehicles.
Cut-resistant gloves, aprons, sleeves and high-temperature conveyor belt reinforcement for manufacturing environments.
Mooring ropes, structural cables and hull reinforcements for high-performance vessels and offshore platforms.
Para-aramid (poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide) is the generic name for the fiber class. Kevlar® is DuPont's brand name for one commercial grade. Our para-aramid fiber is equivalent in molecular structure, tensile strength (3,600 MPa) and ballistic performance to Kevlar® 29/49, but supplied at OEM pricing without brand premium.
Para-aramid (Kevlar-type) has a linear molecular chain that delivers very high tensile strength and modulus — ideal for ballistics and structural reinforcement. Meta-aramid (Nomex-type) has a kinked chain giving superior thermal stability and flame resistance, making it the choice for fire-protective clothing. Our products are para-aramid.
For NIJ IIIA soft body armor, our Aramid Woven Fabric (plain or twill weave, 200–400 g/m²) is the standard backing material used in vests. Our Aramid UD Panels (cross-plied 0°/90°) are used where a stiffer, more trauma-resistant construction is required, such as plate backers and hard armor systems.
Aramid fibers degrade with prolonged UV exposure — tensile strength can drop significantly after extended outdoor use. For external applications, aramid is typically encased in a UV-opaque shell (nylon, polyester cover, or resin matrix). Armor vests use an outer shell for this reason. Please consult our engineers for outdoor application-specific guidance.
MOQ varies by product: woven fabric from 100 m, chopped fiber from 10 kg, felt from 50 m, UD panels from 20 sheets, yarn from 50 kg. Free samples (1–3 m / 500 g) are available for qualification. Standard lead time is 10–15 business days; expedited production (5–7 days) available on request.
