Dyneema® the fiber
Dyneema® is a premium brand of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) that is the world's strongest fiber™. It's 15 times stronger than steel of the same weight, yet light enough to float on water.
With its unrivaled strength-to-weight ratio, Dyneema® has been an ever-present material on board sailing vessels since bursting onto the scene at the 1992 America's Cup. A rope with a Dyneema® fiber core can be as thin as a ballpoint pen yet still lift a Winner 950 yacht with ease.
After decades of fiber innovation, Dyneema® is now the sailing market's elite ingredient material for high-performance lines and applications.
What is Dyneema®
Dyneema® the company
A sailing line is defined by the quality of fiber used to create its core. And at the core of the best sailing lines, you find Dyneema® - the company and the fiber.
Decades of inhouse R&D, including molecular engineering at the polymer stage, an integrated manufacturing process that uses our own, traceable raw materials, the application of proprietary technology, and relentless in-house testing, all mean that Dyneema® is literally at the core of safety, reliability, performance, and handling in sailing.
The difference is in the core
