Price hike at DSM Dyneema
Netherlands-based DSM Dyneema has introduced a 5% global price increase for all DSM Dyneema fibre and uni-directional product lines. The increase will be effective from January 1 or as contracts allow.
Dyneema is a polyethylene fibre that offers maximum strength combined with minimum weight. On a weight-for-weight basis it is up to 15 times stronger than quality steel and up to 40% stronger than aramid fibres. The durable fibre floats on water and is resistant to moisture, UV light and chemicals.
