A game-changer in strength and durability for apparel and shoes
Fifteen times stronger than steel at the same weight, Dyneema® fiber enables fabrics that are far more durable than standard materials, outperforming the strongest woven nylon and polyester- or aramid-enhanced denim. And because the Dyneema® fiber content in the fabric can be customized, it means our partners can tailor their apparel and footwear designs with precision to deliver the optimum level of tear and tensile strength for their product.
Performance apparel with a lightweight design for high endurance
Because Dyneema® is so much lighter than nylon, polyester, and aramids, it opens up whole new performance horizons in performance clothing and footwear. In applications where super strength is a must, fabrics made with Dyneema® can be designed to maximize strength without increasing weight. Conversely, when you want nothing weighing you down, Dyneema®-based fabrics are the perfect solution for minimizing weight without sacrificing performance.
Leading the pack in sustainable performance clothing and footwear
Dyneema®’s high performance doesn’t just apply to its strength, weight, and durability – we’re equally committed to the pursuit of excellence in sustainability.
Fabrics are available with bio-based Dyneema® fiber, which carries a 90% lower carbon footprint than generic HMPE fiber. And because performance apparel made with Dyneema® has such excellent durability and reliability, they last longer and reduce material usage over time.
Alongside these advantages, we carefully monitor the sources of energy used in our own manufacturing centers. 100% of the electricity used in our processes is from renewable sources.
