Kevlar Felt
Kevlar is a para-aramid fibre with very high tensile strength.
Typical working temperature 480°C, up to 500°C short-term. Yellow, or green with 20% carbon.
Used on the run-out table and cooling bed levels 1–2, and as the base layer under PBO.

Common applications
Where Kevlar felt works best
01
Run-out table
Endless belts for the run-out table after the hot saw on presses under 2000T.
02
Cooling bed levels 1–2
Roller sleeves and pads for the lift-over and the first cooling levels.
03
Base layer under PBO
Kevlar is the strong base in our 3+7 PBO/Kevlar belts, sleeves and pads.
