Every so often you come across a quality video on UA-cam that is erudite, informative and answers the questions you want to ask. This video was excellent because you were humble enough to make the material the star and the passing on of knowledge your aim. I sincerely thank you.
Awesome! I love this stuff. Sometimes I just hold my dyneema wallet in my hands and roll it around and squish it back and forth when I am feeling nervous or anxious because the crunchy crackly sound of it soothes me 😃🤣
No mention of delamination of the material. In my use a much greater problem than seam seal failure. Though seems to be primarily the lightest versions, as used for tents.
100% waterproof? Initially, but crumple it a few dozen times and holes develop pretty quickly. I've learned the hard way with "dry bags", even in non seam sealed areas.
*Thanks* How much effort does it take to make 'Cuban Fabric', 'Dyneema'? I 'think' as Sailing, material it's not 'undervalued', but Price became Overused.
Yes mate! Brill little vid. Very original.. Nice to know what the stuff everyones talking about actually is! Simply put for a special guy like me haha.
One comment, one question: First, where does DSM (a multination corporation based in the Netherlands) actually make the fabric? Second, a lot of outdoor gear uses (used) materials adapted from maritime applications. Ripstop nylon, for example, is still used to make sails.
Thanks for watching, hope you found the video useful. Yeah, I was looking into it and one of only a few locations is actually the Netherlands. Many of the other offices only focus on foods among other things. Ahh cool, I didn't know that. Looks like the maritime industry really is something to watch for new materials on the market for outdoor gear applications.
The fabrics from the original Cubic Tech line (DCF, DCH, etc) are still primarily made in two facilities in the USA. One in AZ one in NC. DSM never moved their production overseas
I'm looking to buy 3-6 yards of some 100% woven dyneema to reinforce some garments I'm making but I can only find the nylon coated version for sale. I found one merchant selling 100% woven "seconds" meaning wrinkled/partly used fabric, it was sold out but I know its out there somewhere, anyone got any tips where I should look?
Hey ahh sorry I wouldn’t know where to get 100% woven at the amounts you’re looking for. Ripstop by the Roll might be able to point you in the right direction. 🤙🤞
Lots of great information. Thanks. You said Polyester by itself isn’t very strong. Not entirely true. Many high quality braided ropes made all over the world have a 100% polyester core surrounded by a 100% polyester sheath and have a very high tensile strength with very low stretch.
He is talking about the polyester film and not the solid polyester fiber. Hence a film of similar thickness of DCF is made of polyester with stretch like a balloon.
Couldn't they make a DCF liner(bag) for your bag that is 100% woven together before laminated for a long term, truly waterproof, solution? The top end can be left open and rolled shut and clamped. Better for the consumer and less plastic waste. ..and the price is expensive "because they can". The cost to the manufacturer is next to nothing.
Thanks! I think you’ll find the face fabric is what they use to protect against abrasion which is sometimes made of woven nylon or polyester. The Dyneema Composite under it is made with the polyester film which is not abrasion resistant. 👍
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-molecular-weight_polyethylene filament!!!! This is the reinforcement material inside the PE film (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene). I'll think you'll find it is not!!!
Another great ass video. So glad to know the history and uses of the fiber. No wonder its so useful. Thanks for the video

Guy, your video is suggested in our syllabus ❤

Enjoying the series! Well done presentation.
Well explained! Thank you. What about DCF Hybrid?
No mention of delamination of the material. In my use a much greater problem than seam seal failure. Though seems to be primarily the lightest versions, as used for tents.
This was very informative. Thank you
Great video. You earned a sub. Love the Material Mondays concept.
are the dyneema filaments made of regular plastic bags making it recyclable ?

Wow a shed load of info! Really interesting man, awesome video and great channel.
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it, plenty more to come. 👍
Excellent video!

Haha nice one fella. Glad you found it useful. 🤙
Knowledge and facts love it mate!!!
Haha. Cheers bud.
Good job!
What is the cost of this fibre
not only this video is well filmed also his script is well written. :-)

@@ultralightnerd7558 Is correct. The actual fibers themselves might be made in Europe, but all fabric made from those fibers is in those 2 locations.
Have you ever seen a DCF with a reflective layer on one side?
Hmm nah can’t say I have.
@@thetrailhunter4469 thank you. I wonder how one could apply a reflective layer on and keep the flow of the fabric.
I have some. A thin mylar layer, then fibers, and standard thin plastic layer on the other side. Not sure it's name though, but its a possibility.

Ahh…..same but very different.
New knowledge, thank you.
Is it breathable?
is vollebak anygood , ???
Why is Dyneema so expensive?....because Dyneema Industries restrict sales to specific dealers.
Knowledge!!!
It's expensive because they can, but the patent is expiring soon I believe.

The film that is used is almost exactly like cling film ripping extremely easily I would say cling film is stronger
Very useful video, however, it is Dyneema that is abrasive resistant, not polyester!

Nerd... Only jesting dude solid vid and nice to know how much abuse it can take and its history.
Haha. Nerd’s my middle name. Thanks very much, glad you found it useful! 🤙
Imagine a road bike made of carbon and this material🤔
