Description

Honey well Spectra Fiber: Lightweight Strength From lifting ropes that lower critical equipment to the sea floor, to cut-resistant gloves and high-performance fishing line, Spectra fiber has been providing lightweight, dependable strength in demanding applications for more than 20 years. Spectra fiber is one of the world’s strongest and lightest fibers available today. Product Portfolio: Spectra fiber is made from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene using a patented gel-spinning process. Spectra fiber is engineered for a wide variety of applications, including: -Rope and Cordage: rope, industrial and aquaculture netting, slings and tethers -Recreation: fishing lines, bow strings, parachute cords, racket strings and sail cloth -Cut Resistance: gloves, aprons, sleeves and sporting apparel -Specialty Applications: space materials, dental floss, security barriers and storm protection. Durability: Spectra fiber is used in a diverse array of applications where durability is a necessity, from rope and sail cloth to netting and security barriers. Thanks to its larger filament diameter, Spectra fiber performs well in internal friction and hex bar testing. It exhibits excellent flex fatigue and abrasion resistance and is highly cut-resistant. The fiber features excellent damping characteristics for vibration, shock and impact, and has a low dielectric coefficient and loss tangent. Chemical, Fungal, and UV Resistance: Spectra fiber exhibits high resistance to many types of substances, from seawater to sulfuric acid. In outdoor applications, its resistance to fungal growth, corrosion, and ultraviolet light makes it suitable for the harshest of climates.
