DuPont is committed to protecting people. From law enforcement officers to first responders to military personnel to industrial workers, DuPont provides protective apparel solutions to meet your safety needs. DuPont Personal Protection offers a wide range of proven, science-based solutions including some of the most trusted brands in the industry: Kevlar® for ballistic hazards; Tychem® for liquid and gas chemical hazards; Nomex® for thermal hazards; and Tyvek® for dry particulate hazards.

All over the world, law enforcement officers wear vests made with Kevlar® brand fiber. That's because statistics have consistently shown that wearing protective vests can help reduce the chance of bodily injury or death from criminal assault or accidents. Bullet-resistant body armor made with 100% DuPont™ Kevlar® brand fiber is a vital way to supplement the safety training law enforcement officers receive.

The worldwide recognition Kevlar brand fiber has earned as a high-performance material for helping to protect human life extends far beyond the body armor used by the military and law enforcement community. A unique combination of properties makes Kevlar the first choice for an ever-growing number of applications where a reduction of weight, increase in strength and resistance to corrosion produce significant improvement in safety and efficiency.
