Spectra Shield®  10 times stronger than steel in the same weight .  The Spectra Shield® family of composite products began with the development of Shield technology by Honeywell . 

It is about 30% lighter than Kevlar.

Shield technology lays parallel strands of synthetic fiber side by side and holds them in place with a resin system, creating a unidirectional tape. Two layers are then cross-plied at right angles (0º/90º) and fused into a composite structure under heat and pressure. The pre-consolidated cross-plied material is then packaged as rolls, ready for shipping.

Black Armor combines the Spectra material with Aramid® and Gold Flex®  to shape and mold according to specific  level of protection and product. 

Spectra Shield®  is ten times stronger than steel in the same weight !!

Spectra Shield®  has all the ballistic strength of Kevlar however it is more flexible and about 30% lighter .
