These superior fiber attributes are made possible by patent-protected technology unique to Dyneema®, by which raw ingredient polymer is molecularly engineered for unrivaled strength, then enhanced with cut-resistant microparticles spun directly into the polymer. As one of the world’s only backward-integrated HPPE producers, Dyneema® maintains complete control over every stage of the fiber manufacturing process, from raw material to polymer and fiber production.

Cellulosic polymers 2. Transparent acrylic colors PIGMENT COMPATIBILITY The Omnicolor range has been formulated with high quality, heavy metal-free pigments that perform well in a wide range of polymers under most processing conditions. The hiding power of the formulations does differ, and should be tested in all opaque and filled polymers before starting production.
