About Dyneema Fiber
•
Dyneema fiber is a polyethylene based fiber and is the lightest and strongest of man-
made fibers. It is 8 to 10 times the strength of steel and at least 40 times stronger
than other comparable aramid products of its size.
•
It will withstand high load strains, it floats, and exhibits superior resistance to chemi-
cals, water and ultraviolet light.
•
It is not recommended for use in high-temperature applications due to its tendency
to creep under loads at this level. It is also not recommended to leave equipment,
such as a self-retracting lifeline, attached to this sling as the fiber will again creep.
Creeping means that the fiber will stretch over time and retain its new shape perma-
nently.
•
Dyneema fiber is extremely resilient and abrasion resistant. It can be used with con-
fidence on concrete, stone and other rough surfaces if inspected daily in accordance
with inspection instructions in this manual.
•
An added feature to the life expectancy of Dyneema is that it exhibits excellent flex-
fatigue characteristics. This means that the fibers can be flexed often without the
threat of breakage or degradation.
•
Dyneema is a superior fiber used for fall protection equipment; however, it is impera-
tive that all inspection and maintenance instructions be followed to ensure that it
maintains its integrity and performance characteristics.
