Kevlar and color deterioration?

General Composites Discussions Composites Talk
#1

Is it true that upon sun light exposure the color of yellow/natural kevlar will deteriorate? I recall reading that shortly after sun exposure the color starts turning to a brownish. Anyone have any experience with this or some insight?

In particular anyone have experience with the red carbon /kevlar and color loss? I am interested in an application of the red carbon kevlar material for a cosmetic purpose but don’t want it looking like crap shortly after.

Yes, so keep it out of direct sunlight!

#3

it works will all kevlar

#4

Is there anything that can be added to the resin to protect the color?

#5

It would seem like once the Kevlar is resin wet out, cured and the use of a UV top coat, it shouldn’t change colors at all?:confused:

#6

it doesn’t, just in its fabric form will it fade
