WHAT IS DYNEEMA®?

Dyneema® is the world’s strongest fiber™: a premium brand of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). It’s 15 times stronger than steel, yet light enough to float on water.

This unique strength-to-weight ratio makes Dyneema® ideal for demanding applications where reliability is critical. Its low weight improves performance and efficiency. Its excellent durability extends product lifecycles. And its resistance to water, chemicals, and UV light ensures consistent performance in even the harshest environments.

Dyneema® is used in applications from the ocean floor to outer space, trusted by product designers who cannot afford to compromise on their ingredient materials. And backed by multiple decades of material science expertise, Dyneema® continues to use the world’s strongest fiber™ to innovate trailblazing solutions.

Dyneema® fiber makes apparel, footwear, backpacks, bags, luggage, workwear and industrial clothing lighter, stronger, and more durable.

THE SCIENCE OF DYNEEMA®

Dyneema® is born from science and engineered at the molecular level for exceptional strength, ultra-low weight, and outstanding durability.

It’s made from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), a polymer with molecular chains up to ten times longer than standard polyethylene – creating a material that’s incredibly robust yet remarkably light.

Unlike other UHMWPE manufacturers, Dyneema® controls every step of production – from raw material sourcing to the finished fiber – allowing for precise engineering of its strength and performance. Using a proprietary gel-spinning process, the fiber is then drawn and aligned to create a yarn that’s stronger than steel, by weight.
