The ultimate workwear: Dyneema® does the job, so you can do yours
Some workwear is just built different. Apparel made with Dyneema® is designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily working life in all kinds of environments – providing superior strength and protection without compromising performance. It’s all thanks to our fibers’ unmatched strength-to-weight ratio, for workwear garments that deliver lightweight strength plus natural feel and comfort that lasts, shift after shift.

Workwear with strength built in
Everyone should get to feel comfortable at work – and then go home safe and sound, every single day. Workwear with Dyneema® is workwear you can depend on. Fifteen times stronger than steel and four times stronger than nylon, weight for weight, our fiber offers unparalleled protection, strength, and durability for daily wear.
By increasing tensile strength and abrasion resistance, Dyneema® fiber makes a big impact: lending excellent strength and durability properties to apparel. This provides an extra buffer against abrasion and general wear and tear, increasing workers’ safety and extending the active lifespan of fabrics.
The benefits keep on coming. Not only is Dyneema® fiber lightweight and strong; it’s also highly resistant to UV light. The result? Dyneema®-reinforced workwear keeps wearers safe and protected without compromising on comfort, no matter the conditions.
For unrivaled protection in the workplace
Significantly increased tensile strength
Outstanding abrasion and tear resistance
Excellent UV and chemical resistance
Able to withstand tough industrial laundering
Improved garment longevity
Comfortable and cooler workwear
The benefits of Dyneema®-reinforced garments are evident from the first time you wear them: fabric that feels soft, natural, and pleasant to the touch.
And because less protective material is needed to boost strength, Dyneema® means manufacturers can create workwear that’s lighter and less bulky than garments made with traditional technologies – for clothing that’s both cooler and more comfortable.
Whatever the circumstances, whatever the challenge, Dyneema® gives workers the freedom and flexibility they need to perform at their best, throughout one shift and onto the next.
For comfort that counts
Improved freedom and flexibility for wearers
Soft, natural feel
Lighter, cooler clothing
Clothing retains aesthetic qualities
Durability day after day
The best workwear doesn’t just keep people safe today – it keeps them performing at their peak for a lifetime. Dyneema® is designed for durability – in fact, adding just 5% Dyneema® to cotton doubles the tear strength of the resulting blend.
Together with the increase in tensile strength and abrasion resistance, the life of the lightweight workwear is significantly extended – something that’s key for users of active workwear in demanding conditions. The result is reliable, long-lasting performance (and added peace of mind).

Superior tear strength and abrasion resistance
Able to withstand tough laundering
Extended garment life
Peace of mind for wearers and purchasers
Sustainability as standard
Across all industries, today’s applications are expected to address the growing environmental challenge – and apparel is no exception. Enter Dyneema®: with the lowest carbon footprint per unit strength among high-performance fibers, Dyneema® supports the well-being of people and planet alike.
Dyneema®’s superior strength and durability enables workwear that not only requires less material, but also uses fewer resources to produce those materials. This means it lasts longer than fabrics made with traditional technologies, resulting in fewer replacements and precious energy and resource savings.
And because only a small percentage of Dyneema® is needed for a big impact, fabrics containing it dry faster – further reducing energy consumption.
