Dyneema® by Avient

Avient’s super-strong ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber branded as Dyneema® offers maximum strength with minimum weight. This makes the number of possible applications virtually unlimited.

Dyneema® fiber is 15x stronger than steel at the same weight, with a tensile strength up to 43 cN/dtex. As well as its extraordinary strength, Dyneema® excels in cut and abrasion resistance and has a high resistance to chemicals and UV. Dyneema® fiber is so light that it floats on water and furthermore has a very high modulus (resistance against deformation). Dyneema® is available in a wide range of titers (fiber thickness), from 50 to 6600 dtex, making the fiber suitable for many applications.

Multiple oriented fiber layers may be positioned at any angle having un unlimited range of fiber areal weights and unlimited fiber choices and combinations.
Composite may be tailored and optimized for strength, stretch properties, weight, and minimum thickness for local and global needs, including specific locations or along predetermined load paths.
Customized weights form 11gsm to over gsm.
Flexible composites constructed from high modulus fibers have predictable and linear properties for engineering designs.

Flexible multidirectional flexible fabric using high performance engineering fibers and engineered environmental surface coatings.
Customizable flexible or rigid composites for optimum mechanical properties.
Dyneema Composites Fabrics can be produced in weight ranging from 11gsm to over 500gsm
Material properties can be tailored for strengthand modulusin multiple directions.
Seamless 2D flat or 3D complex curved structures are possible
Composites can be designed for pressure retention, breathability, environmental resistance, abrasion resistance, adhesion, aesthetics, and haptics.
Design flexibility allows customers a wide range of options for product improvement

Why DuPont™ Kevlar ® ?

High Physical strength
The chemical structure of Kevlar® is comprised of several repeating inter-chain bonds. These chains are cross-linked with hydrogen bonds, providing a tensile strength 10X greater than steel on an equal weight basis.
Cut & puncture resistance
Due to the fully extended and perfectly
aligned molecular chains within Kevlar® fiber, Kevlar® provides a strong protective barrier against slashes, cuts and punctures.
Heat resistance
Kevlar® is inherently flame resistant—protecting against thermal hazards up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, Kevlar® fibers won’t melt, drip or support ustion.

RPET Transform Waste To Want.
Waste avoidance is an important attribute of the CORDURA® RPET fabric portfolio. This 100% recycled high tenacity polyester yarn is created from discarded bottles and packaging. These fabrics meet the fabric performance and durability specifications of the CORDURA® brand. CORDURA® RPET fabrics are designed for a variety of products including backpacks, day packs, footwear, luggage, and accessories
RN6 | Nylon Fabric That’s Re-built To Last.
Innovation is at the heart of what we do. By utilizing specialized recycling technologies, we found an innovative way to reuse waste from the manufacturing process, while still supplying a fabric that is engineered to meet the performance and durability specifications of the CORDURA® brand. This 100% recycled nylon 6 yarn transforms pre-consumer waste into CORDURA® RN6 yarn. CORDURA® RN6 fabrics are designed for a variety of products including technical packs,day packs, luggage, and footwear.
