MILIPOL 2015: Dyneema Unleashes New Fibre

MT was told at Dyneema's booth at MILIPOL 2015 that it entered into a teaming agreement with Bluecher aimed at using Dyneema's new Black Dyneema fibre for its undergarment. Sander Bartmann, Dyneema's Marketing Communications Manager, said the company was starting deliveries of its fibres to Bluecher to manufacture the high-performance underwear for use mainly by military personnel. Described as, "the strongest fibre," it has only been available in its natural white colour; if the fibre is required to be used in an application requiring colour, it needed to be post-treated. Now, according to the company, Black Dyneema is "permanently coloured throughout its cross-section". An important fact is that the new fibre will maintain its colour for the lifetime of its use.
