Lightweight, cut resistant and durable, Kevlar® provides workers superior protection from cuts and career-ending accidents. PIP has two manufacturing facilities in the USA that produce gloves, sleeves, and garments made with Kevlar®.

This relationship with DuPont Protection Technologies affirms PIP’s continued success as the leader in innovative hand protection, and solidifies our ability to bring the best products to our customers,” said Joe Milot, President of PIP.

Kevlar® is extremely strong. In fact, it is five times the strength of steel on an equal-weight basis. Since its invention over 40 years ago, Kevlar® has saved thousands of lives and expanded into the automotive, manufacturing, construction, aerospace and electronics industries. Kevlar® is engineered to provide premier cut protection from hazards such as glass, metal shards and sharp machinery. The lightweight yarns used help to improve manual dexterity and comfort for the wearer, allowing more ease at getting the job done right. With both cut and fire‐resistant properties, Kevlar® is the
ideal product for use where dual-hazard protection is needed.
