Dyneema® Diamond Technology for ultra-lightweight gloves with all-out protection
A worker’s hands are their livelihood, yet hand injuries are twice as common in factories as injuries to other parts of the upper body. The good news? 70% of these injuries could be avoided if workers wore protective gloves – but workers often remove their gloves because they limit the movement and comfort required to do their job.
With Dyneema®; however, a workable, wearable solution is at your fingertips. Gloves made with Dyneema® fiber are built for all-day wear, delivering unparalleled cut protection, dexterity, and comfort. In fact, they’re the safest, most comfortable protective gloves on the market. Hands down.

Dyneema® Diamond Technology: Next-generation protection and comfort
Frontline workers need gloves that protect like body armor while feeling supple to wear – and our Dyneema® Diamond Technology eliminates any trade-off between safety and comfort.
To make it, we embed specially engineered microparticles at the polymer manufacturing stage, enabling the production of yarn with more than double the cut resistance of standard Dyneema®. In addition to its structural integrity, Dyneema® Diamond Technology fiber enables glove manufacturers to create thinner, lightweight designs for maximum user comfort. With its combination of unmatched strength, cool-touch comfort, and exceptional durability, Dyneema® Diamond Technology is the crown jewel when it comes to effective cut-protection gloves.
Inside Dyneema® Diamond Technology
Dyneema® Diamond Technology is the only high performance single yarn solution for ultra thin and comfortable glove design at a higher level of reliable cut protection performance.

Hands up for cut, abrasion, and tear resistance
Protection with weak spots – as in fiberglass solutions – isn’t true protection. Our patent-protected Dyneema® Diamond Technology takes the performance and durability of cut-resistant gloves to a whole new level.
For consistent, reliable hand protection, no other material comes close to touching Dyneema® Diamond Technology, which is specially engineered to deliver ultimate security. The result? Fewer injuries to workers, fewer working days lost, and a more productive, profitable operation.
For superior protection
No weak spots, unlike fiberglass gloves
Protection against cuts, abrasion, punctures, and tears
Withstands exposure to UV light, oil, solvents, and cleaning fluids
Tolerates the most abrasive, aggressive working environments
Double the cut resistance compared to aramid
Comfort and dexterity, all day long
Cut-resistant gloves are only useful – and safe – when they’re being worn. That’s why gloves made with Dyneema® are always designed with wearer comfort in mind.
Our unique high-flex solutions avoid the common drawbacks of fiberglass gloves, like broken filaments rubbing and irritating the skin. But Dyneema® Diamond Technology keeps workers cool in other ways too.
Our fibers have high heat conductivity, driving body heat away from the hand faster than typical technologies and preventing the build-up of heat and sweat inside the glove, improving comfort, dexterity, and – most importantly – control.
For all-day comfort at your fingertips
Disperses heat away from the glove, enabling better thermal regulation and fewer sweaty hands
Smooth, fine fibers are comfortable for sensitive skin
Thin, flexible yarn enables easy, natural hand movements
Excellent grip, feel, and control
Gloves that go the distance
When you can enjoy the performance and comfort of Dyneema®-based gloves, you want them to last as long as possible. Great news: gloves made with Dyneema® have a much longer lifespan than alternatives like glass fiber solutions, which deteriorate quickly. Dyneema® Diamond Technology fiber is based on technology that’s been proven in the lab and the real world – with gloves made using our fibers passing ASTM cut-resistance tests as well as EN3888 mechanical hazard tests.
Our rigorous approach to quality control means we offer a Dyneema® performance promise to all our customers – so if you’re looking for reliable, long-lasting protection, look no further.
For performance that’s built to last
High damage resistance and durability
Fewer replacements for lower operational costs
Protection level unaffected by washing
Produced to strict and consistent manufacturing standards
Proven under EN388 mechanical hazards testing
Proven under US ASTM cut-resistance testing
A helping hand on sustainability
Superior cut protection keeps people safe – but that shouldn’t be at the expense of the planet. Traditional protective gloves, reinforced with glass fibers or aramid, bring a significant environmental cost due to their heavy weight and high material demand.
Dyneema®, on the other hand, has been uniquely engineered to have the lowest carbon footprint per unit strength of any HMPE. In fact, producing 10,000 pairs of gloves with Dyneema® emits less than half of the CO2 generated in manufacturing the same number of aramid-based gloves, and less than two-thirds of the emissions of generic HMPE.
Let Dyneema® help you meet your sustainability goals
Sourcing
Customers can opt for bio-based Dyneema® fiber, which offers the same exceptional performance as conventional Dyneema® with a 90% lower carbon footprint than generic HMPE fiber. This means every 10,000 pairs of gloves saves the equivalent of charging two million smartphones!
Manufacture
We use 100% renewable electricity in our manufacturing processes, which also require much less material usage and generate less waste than aramid processes.
Usage
Incinerating gloves made with Dyneema® doesn’t product any hazardous gases. Plus, longer service lifetimes and washability contribute to a lower carbon footprint.
Lifetime
Gloves made with Dyneema® last longer, resulting in less material usage over time. We also embed circularity into every stage of our products’ life cycles, including collection schemes for used gloves.

Discover bio-based Dyneema® fiberGlass is for windows, not for gloves
Glass fiber is often used in protective gloves to achieve high levels of cut resistance, but it’s simply not the right material for the job.
For one thing, it’s brittle: the yarn breaks all too easily during wear or washing – and broken fibers equal less protection. Then, because fiberglass gloves are so uncomfortable to wear, workers often take them off, which defeats the entire purpose of protective gloves and leads to non-compliance with established safety protocols.
Thanks to the unique material properties of Dyneema®, these downsides are a thing of the past. Gloves made with Dyneema® fiber don’t rely on the integrity of delicate glass filaments for protection; their cut resistance comes from microparticles within the fiber itself. This superior structural integrity allows manufacturers to produce lighter, thinner, safer gloves that workers want to keep wearing.
Glass is great in bottles and buildings – but for the best hand protection and comfort, only Dyneema® will do.
