About Dyneema®, the world's strongest fiber™

Invented and manufactured by DSM Dyneema in facilities across the world, Dyneema® is a super-strong fiber based on ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. This advanced fiber has many properties:

Dyneema® is strong yet light: On a weight-for-weight basis, it is up to 15 times stronger than quality steel and up to 40% stronger than aramid fibers.
Dyneema® is extremely durable: It can withstand the harshest environments for a longer time.
Dyneema® floats:  This property, combined with low specific gravity, makes the material ideal for armor solutions in and around water.
Dyneema® is easy to process: It can easily fit around your way of doing business.

These properties - and many more - can make Dyneema® the ideal material for armor solutions used against ballistic threats.
