Description: Spider dragline silk has a tensile strength of roughly 1.3 GPa. The tensile strength listed for steel might be slightly higher – e.g. 1.65 GPa. [1], but spider silk is a much less dense material, so that a given weight of spider silk is five times as strong as the same weight of steel.
