I got some material called Duflot. It’s Twaron (Solvay’s Kevlar) felt. The aramid fibers are about 2 microns in diameter, which I think is a theoretically favorable fiber size for thermal insulation. It’s yellow, but otherwise looks like Thinsulate. I assume it absorbs more water than Thinsulate. I’m going to use it for mittens. Anyone familiar with this material?
Sounds interesting! I’d be interested to know how durable the mittens would be. Sometimes it would be nice to have flame-resistant mittens.
You might be able to make bulletproof potholders from the remnants. :-)
Hey Colin,
about how thick is it and any idea of the ounces per square yard?
I am looking for some bulk 40 gram thinsulate or something comparable.
