Does anybody have an idea about the Price for one kg of M5? Does it have significant creep like Dyneema?
- As far as I know it is still too expensive for commercial use as production is only on labscale. If you are interested, just call the guys.--MBLe 08:05, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

M5 is not used in current armor applicatiosn because exposure to water severly degrades its stength. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slicky (talk • contribs) 17:15, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- I think that you are thinking of PBO (Zylon). That is the fiber that was blamed for the failures in police body armor.Gjd131 (talk) 18:41, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
