	KEVLAR® is an advanced technology that helps transform the ordinary to the extraordinary. It combines high strength with light weight, and comfort with protection. Products made with KEVLAR® brand fiber help those who use them to do more, to go farther, to be even better at what they do. Whether it's working in a plant, at a construction site or in a forest. Whether it's walking a beat, escorting a prisoner to his cell, or completing a tour of duty. Whether it's winning America's Cup, the Tour de France or the Boston Marathon. Whether it's protection from the hazards they face on the job every day, or the comfort and lightweight strength they rely on to help them achieve their personal best, men and women around the world rely on one brand—KEVLAR®—to help them realize the Power of Performance.

	Honeywell® Spectra® Fiber is one of the world’s strongest and lightest fibers. A bright white polyethylene, it is, pound-for-pound, ten times stronger than steel, more durable than polyester and has a specific strength that is 40 percent greater than aramid fiber. Spectra® fiber is made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene that is used in a patented gel-spinning process. Polyethylene is a remarkably durable plastic, and scientists at Spectra Technologies have captured the tremendous natural strength in the molecular backbone of this everyday plastic to create one of the world’s strongest and lightest fibers. The gel-spinning process and subsequent drawing steps allow Spectra® fiber to have a much higher melting temperature (150°C or 300°F) than standard polyethylene. With outstanding toughness and extraordinary visco-elactic properties, Spectra® fiber can withstand high-load strain-rate velocities. Light enough to float, it also exhibits high resistance to chemicals, water, and ultraviolet light. It has excellent vibration damping, flex fatigue and internal fiber-friction characteristics, and Spectra® fiber’s low dielectric constant makes it virtually transparent to radar. Spectra® fiber is used in numerous high-performance applications, including police and military ballistic-resistant vests, helmets and armored vehicles, as well as sailcloth, fishing lines, marine cordage, lifting slings, and cut-resistant gloves and apparel. Honeywell also converts Spectra® fiber into the Spectra Shield® family of specialty composites for armor and other applications.


	Improving Workplace Safety with Cut-Resistant Fiber and Engineered Yarn Systems
	Spectra Technologies is at the forefront of cut-resistant fiber technology, especially for knit and woven fabrics. We are one of the world's foremost manufacturers of cut-resistant fibers and a "cutting edge" developer of engineered yarn products. Spectra® fiber has resistance to cut and abrasion, making it an excellent choice for liners and sleeves. Our patented Spectra Guard™ and Spectra Guard™ CX engineered yarn technology take cut and slash protection to higher levels for personal protection, as well as vandal-resistant and safety fabrics.
