Global science-based company in nutrition, health and sustainable living, Royal DSM has partnered Team Sunweb to integrate Dyneema® fabrics into their team’s apparels to raise the standards of protective clothing. The cycling jerseys, made from Dyneema® high-performance fibers – will protect cyclists from abrasions besides allowing their body moisture to transport at the surface of their jersey, thus keeping them lightweight and enabling the cyclists to maintain pace with comfort.

Known for offering maximum strength with minimum weight, Dyneema® fiber is produced in a patented gel spinning process in which fibers are drawn, heated, elongated and cooled. The fiber has a tensile strength of upto 43 cN/dtex and is 15 times stronger than steel at the same weight. It also excels in cut and abrasion resistance and has a high resistance to chemicals and UV. It’s so light that it can float on water.

The bio-based Dyneema® fiber was first introduced to the world by DSM in May 2020 and offers exactly same features as conventional Dyneema® with a 90 per cent less carbon footprint.
