Can you buy tech webbing (nylon/spectra, technora) by foot?

One can buy pre-sewn tech webbing slings -- made from a combo of nylon and spectra/dyneema, or just technora -- from many sources.
Can you buy the equivalent tech webbing by the foot? (NOT presewn in a sling.) The stuff is typically 0.5 inch (or less) wide when sewn into slings.
I also note that the 1/2" polyester webbing sold by strapworks has a quoted breaking strength of 1800 lbs. Petzl makes its alpine etriers out of polyester webbing.
