SPECTRA

Fibra Spectra® is one of the strongest and lighter fibre available. Produced by Honeywell, an US company, FibraSpectra is a bright white polyethylene, 15 times stronger than steel; it has a specific endurance 40% times higher than any other aramidic fibre. Thanks to its exceptional rigidity and to its viscous-elastic properties, Fibra Spectra is able to endure high weights. Fibra Spectra® properties important for cut resistance are:

  • low density
  • high molecular weight
  • high traction resistance
  • flexibility
  • abrasion endurance
  • chemical agents endurance
  • UV rays resistance
  • water resistance

Fibra Spectra® is used in many applications for which a very high return is requested, like, for instance, bulletproof vest, helmets or armoured vehicles production.
