Honeywell's High-Strength Spectra(R) Fiber Helps Make Curtains Hurricane-Resistant
Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today that its high-strength Spectra(R) fiber, commonly used in bullet-resistant body armor, is a key component in novel curtains that can protect windows and doors during hurricanes.
    Honeywell Spectra fiber enables the roll-down curtains, sold by North Carolina-based John Boyle & Co. to homeowners as Storm-A-Rest(TM), to resist high winds and resulting debris. They also are extremely lightweight, weighing only two and a half ounces per square foot. John Boyle is a recognized leader in the manufacture and distribution of industrial awning and marine fabrics.
