Most anything you might want to know about the Kevlar in Phillystran is at

I think (not certain) Phillystran is Kevlar 29 from tensile tests I
performed on guys.

Can phillystran be heated without degradation?
I have T&B 3:1 glue lined thick wall heatshrink on a 30m inverted V,
where 1/4" stainless cable, acting as the antenna, and guy, are crimped,
and soldered into copper ferrules, then bolted onto a balun box. I used
5/16" dacron rope for the remainder of the run to 6' thimble eyes sunk
~5' into the ground. The lower ends of the rope, as well as the ends of
the antenna cables, I intended to secure, and clean up with flat metal
cable clamps, but never put them on:
