Kevlar Plain Weave 195d 1.7oz/58gsm – Ultra-Light Aramid Reinforcement Fabric
Our Kevlar Plain Weave 195d 1.7oz/58gsm fabric is an exceptionally lightweight, high-performance aramid reinforcement designed for projects that demand strength, toughness, and minimal added weight. Woven from 195 denier Kevlar yarn in a balanced plain weave, this style delivers a smooth, uniform finish and excellent drape, making it ideal for tight contours and thin, high-performance composite laminates.
Commonly used as a surface ply or light structural layer, this fabric is perfect for UAV and drone structures, R/C components, sporting goods, marine parts, fairings, helmets, audio enclosures, and protective panels where abrasion and tear resistance are critical but overall laminate thickness must remain low.
Key Features
- Ultra-light 1.7oz/58gsm construction – ideal as a cosmetic skin or fine structural reinforcement.
- 195d Kevlar plain weave – tight, consistent weave for predictable mechanical properties and clean aesthetics.
- Outstanding toughness & impact resistance – helps reduce cracking, tearing, and puncture in composite laminates.
- Excellent drape and conformity – easily follows complex curves, edges, and transitions.
- High strength-to-weight ratio – adds durability with minimal weight penalty.
- Resin compatible – suitable with epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester systems (epoxy recommended for best performance).
Typical Applications
- UAVs, drones, and R/C aircraft skins & structural components
- Abrasion-resistant surface plies over carbon or fiberglass laminates
- Helmet shells and protective panels (as part of a properly engineered system)
- Sporting goods: paddles, sticks, rackets, bike & moto components
- Marine interiors, fairings, instrument panels & cosmetic overlays
- Thin, tough skins for audio, automotive, and custom composite parts
