200D 35gsm Soft and Highly Conformable Aramid Fabric for Ballistic Vests & Protective Gear

The 35gsm aramid fabric is an ultra-lightweight solution, perfect for lining applications where weight reduction and flexibility are crucial. Weighing significantly less than traditional aramid fabrics, it’s 82.5% lighter than 200gsm and 91.7% lighter than 420gsm variants. Despite its low weight, it still offers a tensile strength of 2800MPa, making it suitable for basic tear and impact resistance needs in linings. Its soft texture allows it to conform easily to curved surfaces, a feature that heavier aramid fabrics lack; 200gsm and above are stiffer and often require special processing for shaping.

In contrast, 200gsm aramid fabric strikes a balance between strength and cost, commonly used for standard ballistic plates and industrial reinforcement. As the GSM increases to 240, 280, and 420, these heavier fabrics are designed for more demanding applications. They provide progressively higher strength, making them ideal for military-grade armor, heavy machinery protection, and high-stress aerospace components. While 35gsm aramid fabric shines in lightweight, form-fitting applications, heavier variants prioritize maximum protection and durability, catering to extreme conditions and high-impact scenarios.
