## More than 40 years of aramid weaving experience

JPS weaves para-aramid yarns into engineered fabrics for protection, high-strength composites, and other demanding products. Fabrics made from Kevlar® and Twaron® fibers combine tensile strength with low weight. With more than 40 years of aramid weaving experience, JPS supports military and civilian protection applications and offers fabric options for the requirements of aerospace programs.

## Para-aramid fabric capabilities

### High tensile strength

Kevlar® and Twaron® fibers provide reinforcement for high-performance composite structures.

### Strength with low weight

A high strength-to-weight ratio supports lightweight protective and structural products.

### Protective applications

Woven para-aramid fabrics are used in military and civilian protection systems.

### Aerospace fabric options

JPS offers Kevlar® and Twaron® fabrics that can be certified to aerospace prepreg specifications.

## Fibers and application requirements

### Kevlar® and Twaron®

These para-aramid fibers are used for protection, high-strength composites, and other specialized products. JPS weaves both fiber families into fabrics matched to customer requirements.

- Kevlar® fibers
- Teijin Twaron® fibers
- Fabric construction selected for the intended composite or protective product

### Protection and composite reinforcement

JPS supplies para-aramid fabrics for products where strength, durability, and weight are central to the design.

- Military and civilian protection
