Hi Forum..!

I need to process by hand layup Aramid Fabrics (Kevlar) with epoxy resin. How much resin the Kevlar will need to be wetted?

Kevlar Propiertes

Epoxy
Laminating epoxy, low viscosity

Thanks!

I almost never work with carbon in hand lamination process, and hardly use Kevlar at all. Honestly the only things I make using wet layup techniques are bigger moulds. But for resin infusion I can definitely say that similar weighted carbon takes up way more resin compared to glass. But the difference between similar weighted glass mat and woven glass is much greater. Glass vleece behaves like a sponge.
