Carbon fibers are lightweight and flexible, 70% lighter than steel, 40% lighter than aluminum, high strength-to-weight ratio, high corrosion resistance, application flexibility, low mass, superior fatigue properties, and resistance to low temperatures.
Kevlar fibers are impact resistance, low weight reinforcement, and high abrasion resistance.
