Spectra® Performance – Improved Safety & Increased Productivity

Spectra® fibers contribute significantly to the rope, cordage, and netting industry, improving workplace safety and increasing productivity. Saving dollars. Increasing Safety. The inherent advantages of Spectra® fibers - such as high strength-to-weight ratios, durability, and overall versatility - have led to their adoption in a wide range of applications.

​

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
