DuPont’s Kevlar EXO Named Finalist For 2025 Edison Awards

DuPont’s Kevlar EXO has been named a finalist for the 2025 Edison Awards in the Critical Safety Materials Advancement category. Kevlar EXO represents a major advancement in body armour technology, offering enhanced ballistic protection without compromising on comfort or mobility.
Kevlar EXO features unmatched pliability, allowing it to contour to body curves for a more body-inclusive fit while maintaining high-performance protection. “Kevlar EXO is solving real-world challenges by redefining the standards of protection and performance,” said Nicole Blankenbeckler, Technical Director at DuPont. “Protective equipment needs to be strong, comfortable, flexible and lightweight to ensure maximum protection in demanding environments.”
The Edison Awards finalists were selected from thousands of submissions and evaluated on concept, value and impact by an independent panel of senior scientists, engineers and academics. Winners will be announced at the 2025 Edison Awards Gala in Fort Myers, Florida, on April 3.
