Kevlar is part of the brand portfolio of the chemical company DuPont.
Under this brand DuPont markets fiber, that is used for protective textile products. Kevlar is used, among others, for bullet proof jackets and fencing wear. Kevlar also protects against thermal injuries.
Now DuPont granted a brand license to Ergodyne for gloves.
The licensing partners will jointly develop and market cut-resistant gloves for professional tradespeople. Chefs as well as meat and fish processors today often use chain-link gloves.
First products will be available in 2011.
