Default Won Award - Popular Science "Best of What's New"
Hard work and good luck pay off, sort of. In a half-solvent housing market I might have even have a bright future with this product line.

Still, it's nice to be recognized on a new product by one this big. Honeywell certainly helped but my two partners and I put a lot into this development. I will sleep with a copy of PopSci tonight. Woo hoo.

Hoo boy.... (Bless the good people at DuPont... there are many.)

Kevlar has its place, but not usually in a high flexion non-composite form, outdoors, exposed to moisture, high levels of UV-radiation and the other odd environmental hazards that diminish the working properties of the family of aromatic polyamides. Shall I be more specific? No, no... of course not.

Our patented laminate begins with S900 Honeywell Spectra ultra high molecular weight polyethylene and is bonded, with a special process, to ethylene vinyl acetate film. It ends up at more than double the tenacity of type xx Kevlar, in excess of 30 grams/denier. Or, in other words, more than twice the strength of Kevlar without the application shortcomings.

Otherwise... Hooray for Kevlar. It still saves a lot of lives.

Just shows to go ya, you can lead a cow to water, but you can't make it change its polyethylenes to polyamides.
