Dyneema® Composite Hybrid 3.8, 128g/sqm color: black

Dyneema® Composite Hybrid is a performance laminate, that was originally invented for high-end cruising sails. The concept is well known in the sailing-industry: Strong fibers are being laminated between two carriers. What makes Dyneema® Composites special are the ultra-strong Dyneema®-fibres that are used. Dyneema® combines extremely high tear-strength with ultralight weight. Not without reason it is called "The world's strongest fiber"! Due to the unique properties of the fibers, Dyneema® Composite Hybrid is far more tear-resistant than other fabrics of the same weight, it is highly waterproof, doesn't stretch, is resistant to folding, doesn't soak water, is UV- and chemical-resistant. The application range is determined by the amount of Dyneema®-fibers and various carrier materials that are used. The standard Dyneema® Composite Fabrics have a smooth Polyester-film on each side that makes it highly waterproof and can be easily glued. Dyneema® Composite Hybrid widens the application range by using additional layers of woven fabrics to optimize it for backpacks or bags.

Dyneema® Composite Hybrid 3.8 has been beefed up with an additional layer of 50-denier polyester fabric on the outside! This significantly increases abrasion resistance and offers far more design options in terms of color. The transparent film on the inside ensures high water resistance and bonds well. Thanks to the bidirectional Dyneema® fibers sandwiched between the layers, the result is extremely tear-resistant while remaining low in weight. Weighing in at 128 g/sqm, this version is a lightweight variant of the Dyneema® Composite Hybrid, ideal for lightweight backpacks, daypacks, or accessory pouches.

According to Avient, partially bio-circular raw materials are used in the production of the Dyneema® fibers used in Dyneema® Composites. In this process, residual materials from the wood and pulp industries are incorporated into the raw material supply chain through a certified mass balance approach. Combined with the use of 100% renewable energy, this reduces greenhouse gas emissions during fiber production compared to conventional HMPE. Avient reports a reduction of approximately 3.76 kg of CO2 equivalents per kilogram of Dyneema® fiber. According to the manufacturer, the technical properties of the fibers are identical to those of conventional Dyneema®. The bio-circular raw materials used are certified under the ISCC mass balance system.
