and I believe not just another organic compound. Here is what they have to say about the product.
"The Properties of KEVLAR®
KEVLAR® is one of the most important manmade organic fibers ever developed. Because of its unique combination of properties, KEVLAR® is used today in a wide variety of industrial applications. KEVLAR® para-aramid fiber possesses a remarkable combination of properties that has led to its adoption in a variety of end-uses since its commercial introduction in the early 1970's.
Fibers of KEVLAR® consist of long molecular chains produced from poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide. The chains are highly oriented with strong interchain bonding which result in a unique combination of properties.
General Features of KEVLAR® :
*High Tensile Strength at Low Weight
*Low Elongation to Break High Modulus (Structural Rigidity)
Low Electrical Conductivity
High Chemical Resistance
*Low Thermal Shrinkage
*High Toughness (Work-To-Break)
*Excellent Dimensional Stability
*High Cut Resistance
Flame Resistant, Self-Extinguishing"
The asterisks are mine. I believe that these are the qualities that make EBC Green Stuff pads better.
My point in posting here is to get to the bottom of the different views that folks have on the exact same subject. By interjecting personal attacks because someone disagrees with you does not go very far in accomplishing a common understanding. Pointing something out is not slamming. Hang in,
