- Kevlar is five times stronger than steel, yet it is extremely lightweight. Kevlar does not rust or corrode and it absorbs vibrations readily. Kevlar is expensive because special precautions are necessary to handle the concentrated sulfuric acid used in its production.
- Kevlar breaks down when exposed to the ultraviolet rays in sunlight. Dry-cleaning agents bleach, and repeated washing can affect Kevlar negatively also. To protect against these problems, the layers of Kevlar in bullet-resistant vests have fabric coverings to prevent exposure to sunlight and moisture.
