Types of Dyneema®
Dyneema® derives its enormous strength from a proprietary gel-spinning process that results in extremely long, straight polymer chains. This exceptionally strong material is available in four major types.
- Dyneema® fiber, an Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)
- Dyneema Purity®, a medical grade fiber
- Dyneema® UD, a uni-directional sheet material for laminate composite construction
- Ballistic sheet, made from (UHMWPE) tape for laminate composite construction
