Several grades of Kevlar are available:
Kevlar K-29 – in industrial applications, such as cables, asbestos replacement, brake linings, and body/vehicle armor.
Kevlar K49 – high modulus used in cable and rope products.
Kevlar K100 – colored version of Kevlar
Kevlar K119 – higher-elongation, flexible and more fatique resistant.
Kevlar K129 – higher tenacity for ballistic applications.
Kevlar AP – has 15% higher tenacity than K-29.[10]
Kevlar XP – lighter weight resin and KM2 plus fiber combination.[11]
Kevlar KM2 – enhanced ballistic resistance for armor applications[12]
