Honeywell also converts Spectra® fiber into the Spectra Shield® family of specialty composites for armor and other applications. The Spectra Shield® family of composite products began with the development of Shield technology by Honeywell in the late 1980s.
Honeywell engineers have also developed Shield products using other high-performance fibers, such as aramid fiber in our Gold Flex® and Gold Shield® products. Since the late 1980s Shield technology and the Spectra Shield® family of composite products have revolutionized armor systems in ballistic resistant vests and hard armor applications used by law enforcement agencies and militaries throughout the world.
