Dyneema® Composite Fabric CT1E.08, 18g/sqm

The colour dark olive is available as a standard colour. We will try to keep this colour reliably in stock and reorder regularly. All other colours we can only offer irregularly in small quantities.

Cuben fiber has a new name: "Dyneema® Composite Fabric"! The material is the same as before, but besides the new name we can now offer it as a distributor for DSM in far more styles and colours and at much better conditions!

Dyneema® Composite Fabrics 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 DCF 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, DCF 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. So-called HYBRIDs widen the application range by using different additional layers like woven fabrics, membranes or glues to optimize it for special applications like backpacks or breathable garments.

This style CT1E.08 is a classic allround DCF-style, the inside and outside has a smooth, transparent polyester-film. The ultra-tear resistant Dyneema® between the two layers make it extremely durable for its weight. With the weight of 18g/sqm it is a very good lightweight option for tarps, tents and lavuus.

Bio Based Dyneema® is used for this article. In Bio Based Dyneema®, residues from the wood and pulp industry are mixed with fossil raw materials during the manufacturing process. Due to the proportion of renewable raw materials, the ethylene produced has a significantly better CO2 balance than conventional HMPE. The technical properties of Bio Based Dyneema® are identical to conventional Dyneema®. Bio Base Dyneema® is ISCC-certified.
