About Dyneema

Dyneema offers maximum strength combined with minimum weight. It is up to 15 times stronger than quality steel and up to 40 percent stronger than aramid fibers, both on weight for weight basis. Dyneema fiber floats on water and is extremely durable and resistant to moisture, UV light and chemicals. Dyneema is an important component in ropes, cables and nets in the fishing, shipping and offshore industries.
