Royal DSM, a global science-based company active in health, nutrition, and materials, has launched Dyneema-branded ultra high molecular weight polyethylene fibre in black colour.
Black Dyneema is the latest result of DSM Dyneema bringing together its science, technology and engineering expertise in response to market needs that continue to change and develop. It is similar to natural white Dyneema fibre, except that it is permanently coloured throughout its cross-section. The colouring process has no effect on any of the key mechanical properties of the fibre, or on its smooth surface. The fibre also has very high breaking strength and stiffness, low density, low elongation, excellent durability, and is chemical, moisture and UV resistant, according to a press release.Royal DSM, a global science-based company active in health, nutrition, and materials, has launched Dyneema-branded ultra high molecular weight #
DSM Dyneema expects Black Dyneema fibre to extend the use of Dyneema in existing applications, and to take it into totally new markets. The new areas of application expected to use Black Dyneema include yachting lines, specific military applications, speciality ropes, nets, and high performance sportswear. In addition, customers across diverse markets have already asked for a Black Dyneema fibre that can be combined with other, dark-coloured materials. (GK)
