We tested many Kevlar tapes on the market. 100% pure Kevlar by Play Juggling proved to be the most resistant, most absorbent, and most durable of all.
Kevlar is a brand name for an aramid fiber with excellent heat and abrasion resistance. Unlike most tapes made from continuous fibers (filament yarn), Kevlar used for wicks is made from aramid spun yarn : small fibers agglomerated together. This gives high absorption, but low tensile strength.
Kevlar Tape is used to build Fire Props yourself, or replace used wicks.
There are two types of Kevlar on the market:
Fiberglass mix
Better temperature resistance in the fibers core · Heavier than Kevlar
100% Pure Kevlar
Much better abrasion resistance (drops) · Better absorption · More expensive fiber
For most props, the 100% pure Kevlar is way more durable. The more you drop your props, the bigger the difference. Of course, build quality remains a big factor for durability. Kevlar Tape is a very good option for all the fire staffs, fire eating torches, fire juggling torches, etc...
We have tried all the different Kevlar Tapes available on the market. Despite cheaper competition, the ones made in Europe remain way more durable and nice to work with. We have tried cheaper options that are very hard to drill through in a clean way. The fibers are loose so the screw catch them, which is incredibly annoying.
We support Play Juggling who has spent many years developing and are the only one able to provide a product that is perfectly consistent in quality and dimensions.
