Spectra® Polyethylene Fiber

Discover the strength of Spectra® Fiber, engineered for high-performance industrial applications. Learn about the unparalleled durability, lightweight properties, and versatility of Spectra® fibers. 

Honeywell Spectra® Fiber is one of the world's strongest and lightest Polyethylene Fibers for peak performance. Pound-for-pound, Spectra® Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Fiber (UHMWPE) is 15 times stronger than steel, more durable than polyester, and has a specific strength that is 40 percent greater than aramid fiber.

Honeywell’s S-900 and S-1000 product lines offer a wide range of Spectra® performance fiber levels and deniers to meet the needs of a wide range of applications. Selecting the right rope or net for a job depends on multiple concerns of construction, composition and function.

The Spectra® S-900 fiber was the first commercially available extended-chain, high-strength polyethylene fiber and the first in a series of Spectra® fibers. It is available in multiple deniers (650 - 5600). Spectra® S-1000, the second in a series of Spectra® fibers, was developed to meet customers’ needs for increased performance. It is available in deniers ranging from 75 to 2600.
