Emerging Innovations and Trends Creating New Possibilities in Military PPE
Industry leaders are focusing on the development of advanced materials like aramid fiber to boost product performance and reach a wider customer base. Aramid fiber is prized for its exceptional strength, heat resistance, and durability, making it ideal for protective applications.
For example, in April 2023, DuPont de Nemours Inc. introduced Kevlar EXO, a new aramid fiber that offers a unique balance of protection, lightness, and flexibility. This material is used in body armor, enabling military and law enforcement personnel to achieve high ballistic protection while maintaining mobility and comfort. Kevlar EXO's superior pliability allows it to conform closely to body contours, providing ergonomic benefits without compromising safety.
