Dyneema fiber has long been used to moor oilrigs, sail ships, resist bullets and repair humans. The fiber is almost 15 times stronger than quality steel and up to 40 per cent stronger than aramid fibers and lighter than water. Dyneema fiber floats on water and is extremely durable and resistant to moisture, UV light and chemicals.

Besides offering unparalleled protection, Dyneema is also soft, light and thermally conductive – keeping skin feeling cool in the sweatiest of conditions. As a composite fabric, it is becoming increasingly popular with high-performance sports – from mountain climbing to motorcycling – since it can also be engineered to enhance particular properties.

New generation Dyneema fabrics offer next level innovations in denim, apparel, footwear, sports equipment and lightweight outdoor products and accessories. Dyneema is an important component in ropes, cables and nets in the fishing, shipping and offshore industries. Dyneema is also used in safety gloves for the metalworking industry and in fine yarns for applications in the medical sector. In addition, Dyneema is also used in bullet resistant armor and clothing for police and military personnel.

The fiber is made from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene and offers maximum strength with minimum weight. It has extremely long molecular chains that transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone.
