Just curious, what do you use to shred Kevlar? I know that stuff tears up drills and saws when you try to cut through it in a hull.

This may give you ideas about future uses.

Federal Law prohibits the sell or use of used vests and kevlar items such as ACH's and IBA's if its been used in a combat enviroment due to depleted uranium and all that mess. Plus, its a biohazard with blood and what not. Check out Ebay rules with people trying to sell all that stuff. Major illegal.

I use a tire shredder. Shreds them like they are nothing. Very quick.

Thanks for all the ideas. Keep them coming.

I wonder if you could work with a home builder and use it for insulation? It couldn't be much worse that regular glass insulation to work with and it should be a pretty good insulator if all shredded up.

Would a ashphalt paving co. use it in their mix ?

Not illegal to own but yes illegal if used during a crime. They hit you with add time for the vest. Many private security etc use them. Too bad they can't be used. Friend of mine works at a co that does marine gov work you should see the beautiful al heads that get trashed
