The benefits of kevlar are well known namely a high degree of toughness and resistance to impact.
Kevlar carbon fiber.
Typically it is spun into ropes or fabric sheets that can be used as such or as an ingredient in composite material.
Kevlar fabrics can be used with or as a great alternative to carbon fiber or fiberglass.
Although not as stiff as carbon fiber a kevlar or carbon kevlar part can be designed to be much stronger than one solely comprising carbon fiber or fiberglass in certain applications.

There are many types of kevlar glass and carbon fiber and they all differ.
Kevlar aramid is used for high performance composite applications where lightweight high strength and stiffness damage resistance and resistance to fatigue and stress rupture are important.
The actual figures presented here are for comparison only.
Fabrics containing both carbon fiber and kevlar in one woven fabric.
Kevlar fiber has a tensile strength comparable with that of carbon fiber a modulus between those of glass and carbon fibers and lower density than both.
Carbon fiber is by far the stiffer of the composite materials.
Composites grade kevlar is lightweight impact resistant abrasion resistant heat resistant and has great strength properties for the most demanding applications.
3k x 1500 kevlar thickness.
The important thing to take away is that carbon fiber is about twice as stiff as kevlar and about 5 times stiffer than glass.
