Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Fiber
Spectra® fiber is one of the world’s strongest and lightest fibers; pound-for-pound, fifteen times stronger than steel, more durable than polyester, and has a specific strength that is 40 percent greater than aramid fiber.
Honeywell offers a wide range of Spectra® performance levels and deniers to meet the needs of many applications. Selecting the right rope or net for a job depends on multiple concerns of construction, composition and function. Our knowledgeable and experienced applications team helps customers optimize manufacturing processes and develop creative and cost-effective solutions.
The Benefits of Spectra Fiber
- 15 times stronger than steel by weight – lighter weight/heavier loads
- Light enough to float (.97 g/cc specific gravity) – no capacity loss in water
- Hydrophobic – no water weight gain
- Chemical resistance - does not corrode and eliminates need for lubrication
- Excellent abrasion resistance – longer life
- Excellent flex and bending fatigue performance – longer life
- Very good UV resistance – eliminates the need for UV protective coatings
- Excellent cut resistance – improves durability – longer life
- Low coefficient of friction – reduces energy loss and heat buildup
