STRENGTHplus+ molecular engineering

What makes Dyneema® truly exceptional, beyond its unrivaled strength-to-weight ratio, are the engineered properties that other fibers just can’t match.

We've spent the last twenty years developing a range of 40+ innovation grades to address specific industry priorities.

Each grade embodies its own unique set of properties, whether that’s creep prevention, cut resistance, ballistic protection, or other key characteristics required in the end-use application. That’s why we think of our greatest strength as STRENGTHplus+.
