TESTARTIKEL ® 12g/sqm DO NOT ORDERh

hhhh 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 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, 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 CT0.3K.08 is the thinnest version of the Dyneema® Composite Fabrics. By using a reduced amount of Dyneema® threads between the two thin films the weight is reduced to a mere 12g/sqm. This makes it ideal for light kites or "next to nothing" tarps. But the lower percentage of the Dyneema®-threads goes to the expense of the tear-resistance and abrasion resistance so this style should be handles with care during processing and the final use. For tarps and tents we recommend the slightly heavier Dyneema® Composite Fabric CT1E.08 with 18g/sqm.
