DPA Title III allows the federal government to invest in materials, technologies and domestic production capabilities considered essential to national defense. Its purpose is to:
- Expand and protect U.S. manufacturing capacity.
- Reduce dependence on foreign sources.
- Strengthen the resilience of the defense supply chain.
- Ensure long-term access to strategically important materials.
- Support purchases, purchase commitments, and the testing and qualification of Title III-supported materials when authorized under a specific government program or contract.
Kevlar® EXO™ Rope
- Kevlar® EXO™ provides an unprecedented combination of strength, flexibility, durability and flame resistance.
- It delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance, allowing for lighter and more compact systems without sacrificing protection or durability.
- Its performance and weight are comparable to high-end polyethylene fibers, with the added flexibility and thermal performance of para-aramids.
- Kevlar® EXO™ is significantly stronger than legacy Kevlar®, with increased tenacity, modulus and elongation that produce a substantially improved strength-to-weight ratio.
- It is inherently flame- and temperature-resistant and does not melt.
- Its decomposition temperature is approximately 525°C, or 977°F.
- These properties make Kevlar® EXO™ particularly valuable for military, aerospace, fire-rescue and other extreme operating environments.
