PBO is inherently stronger than other composite fibres: 5.6 percent stronger than carbon and approximately twice the strength of Dyneema and Kevlar. PBO is also 50 percent stronger than Nitronic 50 Rod for the equivalent level of stretch.
| Fibre properties | PBO | Dyneema | Kevlar | T800 carbon |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tensile strength (Gpa) | 5.8 | 3.0 | 2.8 | 5.49 |
