Body Armor: Spectra Shield vs. Kevlar
In the past, it was common to construct body armor using Kevlar, but today’s modern body armor calls for hybrid thermoplastic materials like Spectra Shield. Spectra Shield is an ultra-high-strength polyethylene composite that has a tensile strength of 35 grams per denier (which is a measure of textile strength), while Kevlar has only 23 grams per denier. And whereas Kevlar is a woven fabric, Spectra Shield is made from layers of unidirectional fibers.
