Originally posted by Flight-ER-Doc: Kevlar doesn't melt, it burns to ash. Its the same stuff as Nomex. I had a piece of kevlar (spall blanket in an M113) that I was going to do a demo on once....all that was left was a fine brown ash.
The sample I had melted, or at least the outer cover melted once it was sprayed with gas and lit. Perhaps mine wasn't true Kevlar?
