SpectraCarb Aralon Stockinette

Spectra™ fiber is one of the world’s strongest and lightest fibers, pound for pound ten times stronger than steel and more durable than polyester. Carbon fiber has become common in the O&P industry and is used in many other industries where strength, stiffness, light weight, and outstanding fatigue characteristics are important. Aralon combines Kevlar and Nylon and provides superior impact and fatigue resistance. Aralon is 40% stronger than fiberglass, while weighing half as much. The strength-to-weight ratio is approximately 21/2 times superior to fiberglass and it eliminates itching.
