Protective Materials
Dyneema® has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any material on Earth, allowing armor solutions to maintain the highest levels of protection without sacrificing user comfort or maneuverability.
Bio-based Dyneema® has a carbon footprint that is up to 90% lower than alternative materials and boasts the same performance as conventional Dyneema®.

Because of the thermal similarities of the resins they can also be used on PFA substrates.
They should be used on ETFE or PVdF substrates.
In some cases, it is advisable to pre-treat the substrate prior to application.
