Dyneema® grades for cut-resistant gloves
Why Dyneema® is the diamond standard in cut protection
More than 25 years ago, Dyneema® transformed the design of cut-protection gloves with a thinner yarn providing comfort and dexterity far better than that offered by any other material then available. In 2012, we took another step forward with the launch of our revolutionary Dyneema® Diamond Technology – delivering ultra-thin, single-yarn fibers with double the cut-resistance performance of generic HPPE. And now, glove designers can rely on the next level of advanced cut protection: Dyneema® Diamond Technology 2.0.
Our patented single-yarn technology means the days of glass, basalt, and steel reinforcements are over – and ensures wearers benefit from maximum comfort, durability, and protection.
Dyneema® Diamond Technology 2.0: The pinnacle of cut protection
3x more cut resistant than generic HPPE
30% lighter than generic HPPE
40% thinner than generic HPPE
Certified and compliant with OekoTex® 100, EU REACH, US FDA, and more
Design for sustainability
Not only is Dyneema® the world’s strongest fiber™, but it also has the lowest carbon footprint per unit strength of any high-performance fiber. Better yet, it’s now available in bio-based form (in fact, it’s the world’s first-ever bio-based HMPE fiber).
Bio-based Dyneema® fiber has a carbon footprint 90% lower than generic HMPE – and you can still count on the exact same quality and properties as with conventional Dyneema®.
Your expert partner at every stage of development
Our team are experts in glove design, with extensive knowledge of the factors influencing cut-resistant glove performance at every stage of production. We’re happy to work with your preferred production facilities – or we can introduce you to one of our Premium Manufacturing Partners (PMPs). And we collaborate with all partners along the value chain, right through to delivery of the finished product.
Design
Using our deep understanding of the key factors affecting cut performance, we work with you to design the optimum balance between comfort and cut protection. We model and test twist/turns per meter (TPM), stitch length, spandex stretch/draft, and machine gauge, so we can engineer the ideal properties into your product. And, of course, we can demonstrate the benefits of Dyneema® Diamond Technology, which offers manufacturers maximum flexibility and a larger window of operations.
Yarn engineering
Our experts develop, test, and recommend options for yarn twisting or covering for those designing next-level engineered yarns. Engineered yarn with Dyneema® Diamond Technology is a lightweight solution that can be combined with tungsten, steel, spandex, polyester, or nylon, depending on your required performance criteria. Our state-of-the-art equipment and extensive experience in application development means we can help our partners find the right products, fast.
Glove knitting
Our global technical centers are home to a wide range of the very latest glove knitting machines, from 18G to 10G – and we’re always exploring new designs and solutions using Dyneema® Diamond Technology. When it comes to production, depending on your product specifications, we can either work with your preferred suppliers or introduce you to one of our trusted PMPs.
Testing
Our testing facilities in Asia and Europe are equipped with cutting-edge technologies for mechanical tests, which we use to carefully determine the real-world performance of our materials.
