DSM Dyneema triumphed at the ITMA Future Materials Awards, scooping three gongs including the top prize of Launch of the Year for its Force Multiplier Technology; Best Innovation – Industrial Textiles; and Most Innovative Large Company.
A leader in high-performance fibres, Dyneema described its award-winning technology as a ‘radical step change’ in armour innovation; the result of a 30-month R&D initiative. It claims to set a new standard for ballistic armour in personal protection, vehicle armour and next-generation tactical gear.
The judges praised Dyneema for its “impressive implementation and excellent market take-up potential”, adding that “the company creates a platform to link technicians and product designers to shorten the market journey.”
