Dyneema® fiber properties
This outstanding material provides:
- High strength/low weight - Dyneema® is 15 times stronger than steel, and 40% stronger than aramids on a weight-for-weight basis.
- Low specific gravity (0.97) - Dyneema® floats on water and is ideal for lightweight solutions.
- Excellent chemical resistance - Dyneema® is chemically inert, and independent studies have confirmed that Dyneema® performs well in dry, wet, salty and humid conditions, as well as other situations where chemicals are present.
- UV resistant - Products made with Dyneema® fiber show strong resistance to photo degradation when exposed to UV light. The high UV resistance of the fiber ensures continuing high performance.
- Moisture resistant - Dyneema® fiber is hydrophobic. It resists water absorption, providing an extra level of protection and durability.
- High durability - Dyneema® fiber can withstand the harshest environments for a longer time. This is due to its inherent strength, and its resistance to many damaging chemical agents.
