Defence Industry Innovations from DSM Dyneema

Dyneema® is an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) invented and produced by DSM Dyneema. The material offers a unique range of properties, combining extremely low weight with outstanding strength to provide greater protection against a growing number of ballistic threats. Both Dyneema® fiber and unidirectional (UD) material are specified for the protection of vehicles around the world.

Typically, vehicle protection systems are required to counter a number of threats: EFPs, IEDs, RPGs and/or road side bombs. Of specific importance is the performance in case of Kinetic Energy (KE). This can vary from a standard 9mm handgun, to rifles like 7.62x54mm Dragunov with B.32 API armored piercing ammunition, to the larger systems such as 14.5mm x 115, all the way to vehicle mounted systems 25mm x 137 APDS and beyond. NATO has classified this protection into the STANAG 4569 AEP 55 volume 1 standard. For floor protection against mine threats, Volume 2 with different levels is used.
