Talk:Kevlar

Twaron is not Kevlar
As this entry notes, Kevlar is a registered trademark of E.I. Du Pont de Nemours and Co. Twaron is manufactured by Teijin Twaron, and is a different product, like Coke and Pepsi are different products. As Coke and Pepsi are both colas, Kevlar and Twaron are both aramid fibers. Kevlar, however, is not "also known as" Twaron; they are two competing products.

5 times as strong as steel?
This is debateable as there are many different types of steel. It could be between 3.31 and 77 times as strong, depending on your source of data. How about Dupont claim Kevlar is 5 times as strong as steel?

- Does it help that people say that its 5 times stronger weight for weight?

its a throw away comment as the type of strength isn't qualified like tensile or dynamic

It's imposible to be 5 times stronger than a good steel polyalloy. Maybe it's steel 5 times stronger than kevlar. - Having same thickness of steel and Kevlar, Winning side will be of Kevlar for higher strength.

Orphaned references in Kevlar
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Kevlar's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Book": From Asbestos:  From Lester Shubin:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:35, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 6 September 2023
I would like to provide a citation for the missing citation under 'Production'

Quote needing citation : "Kevlar production is expensive because of the difficulties arising from using concentrated sulfuric acid, needed to keep the water-insoluble polymer in solution during its synthesis and spinning"
