    Dyneema is an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber invented by DSM in 1979 that is produced commercially since 1990. It has exceptionally high strength and resistance to abrasion due to its extremely long molecular chains. Dyneema is synthesized from ethylene monomers and processed using methods like gel spinning to produce fibers with high molecular orientation and tensile strength. It has applications in products like armor, cut-resistant gloves, fishing line, parachutes, and medical devices due to its strength properties and chemical resistance.

     Dyneema is a registered trademark of Royal


    DSM (The Netherlands).

     Dyneema was invented by DSM in 1979.

     It has been in commercial production since


    1990 at a plant in Heerlen, the Netherlands
     It is Ultra-high-molecular-weight
    polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber
     It has extremely long chains, with molecular
    weight numbering in the millions
     The longer chain serves to transfer load more
    effectively to the polymer backbone by
    strengthening intermolecular interactions
     It has highest impact strength than any
    thermoplastic material
     It is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals,
    with exception of oxidizing acids
     It has extremely low moisture absorption
     It has a very low coefficient of friction,
     It is self-lubricating, and is highly resistant to
    abrasion(15 times more resistant to abrasion
    than carbon steel)
     Its coefficient of friction is significantly
    lower than that of nylon and acetal, and is
    comparable to that of Teflon, but UHMWPE
    has better abrasion resistance than Teflon.
     It is odorless, tasteless, and nontoxic.
     High Breaking Strength
     Low Weight
     Low Elongation
     Better Control
     High Safety
     Chemical Resistance
     Soft and Better Bending
     Various Colors
     UHMWPE is synthesized from monomers of
    ethylene which are bonded together to form
    ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene
    (or UHMWPE)
     UHMWPE is processed using the following
    methods
    1. compression molding,
    2. ram extrusion,
    3. gel spinning,
    4. sintering,
    5. kneading.
     In gel spinning, a precisely-heated gel of
    UHMWPE is processed by an extruder through
    a spinneret
     The extrudate is drawn through the air and
    then cooled in a water bath.
     The end-result is a fiber with a high degree
    of molecular orientation, and therefore
    exceptional tensile strength.
     Due to high crystallinity and chemical
    resistant of the fiber dyeing is very difficult.

     It can not be dye through conventional ways

     Advance technology is used to dye the fiber

     Dyeing in super critical carbon dioxide


    method is used.
     Highly oriented ultra-high molecular weight
    polyethylene fibres are contacted with a dye
    bath at a temperature of 100-130°C for 20-
    60 minutes
     Dye bath consisting of an aqueous dispersion
    of a finely ground mixture of specific dyes
    and surfactants
     Moulding is contacted, at a temperature of
    between 100 and 130°C, with a supercritical
    liquid in which a dye is dissolved.
     Fibers are preferably modified by means of a
    plasma or corona treatment prior to the
    dyeing operation

     The dyes are brought into the moulding to a


    greater depth
     Removed only with great difficulty, by
    boiling in hexane.
     No washing step or drying step is needed
    after dyeing
     Good coloration occurs in places that are
    difficult of access where fibers are wound
    one over the other.
     Supercritical liquid such as carbon dioxide,
    dinitrogen oxide, ammonia, ethane or
    propane are used in dyeing process.
     Dye is used which is soluble in supercritical
    liquid.
     Which exhibit a good affinity to highly
    oriented high-molecular-weight polyethylene
    mouldings.
     Good affinity means that resulting in a high
    colour intensity and high resistance to
    rubbing and washing.
     plate-shaped dye molecules exhibit a good
    affinity
     Good dyeing results are obtained when azo
    dyes are used.
     Ar-N=N-Ar,
     Ar is an aryl group
     Aryl group is understood to be a benzyl or a
    naphthyl group
     If the solubility of the dye is inadequate, it
    may be improved by adding moderators
     Toluene, methylpyrrolidone, Decalin, glycols
    or propanol.
     used in armor,

     cut-resistant gloves,
     Fishing line,

     Sport parachutes,
     Bow strings,


     paragliders
     Medical applications in total joint
    replacement
     Skis and snowboards


     Skating

     Skateboarding
     Hockey


     Rock climbing
