Spectra Fiber is made with an innovative process using a gel spinning technique. Spectra Fiber’s ultra-high molecular weight makes this super fiber ideal for many different applications. This means that Spectra Lines can be made extremely lightweight without compromising tensile strength. Spectra Fiber is approximately five times stronger than steel. Whether you choose to use the S-12 or the D-12, you are getting a rope with incredible strength and resistance to fatigue. This may be useful in some heavy use applications due to its higher elasticity and nominally higher strength. Pelican Rope also offers The S-12’s close cousin, the D-12 which is a 12 Strand Rope made with Dyneema Fiber, rather than Spectra Fiber.

Maintains Strength In Freezing Temperatures.This incredible rope is available in diameters ranging from ⅛” to 1 ¼” and a tensile strength 2,900 lbs to 165,000 lbs. The S-12 includes a special coating from Pelican Rope and offers extremely high stretch.


It is known for its resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and flex fatigue. This 12 strand braided Spectra Cord floats on water and resists corrosion. Our S-12 Rope is exclusive to Pelican Rope and is constructed with Spectra Fibers. What Kind Of Rope Is Made With Spectra Fiber? Pelican Rope offers an exclusive Spectra Rope called the S-12, made with a 12 strand construction. It is part of the polyethylene family of plastics and in addition to its strength, Spectra Fiber is known for its durability, resistance to abrasion, and its lightweight structure. and is approximately five times stronger than steel. This unique fiber was developed in the U.S. Spectra is a super fiber made by the Honeywell Corporation.
