The very long molecular chains of the material give the polymer a number of unique properties:

• Strength: it can be loaded 10-15 % higher before plastic deformation starts
• Excellent wear and fatigue resistance
• High and consistent quality and compliance, including all relevant levels of process validation and product traceability; the material meets the ASTM F648 / ISO 5834 standards type 3
• Consistent processability
• High purity: advanced impurity detection equipment was installed to maintain a constant high level of cleanliness

• Current applications:
  • Orthopedic implants: used as a surface bearing material in total joint arthroplasty. The material is applied in artificial hips, knees, shoulders, elbows, wrists, ankles and spinal discs;
  • High-tech industrial applications:
  The material is used by DSM as a raw material for the ultra strong Dyneema Purity® fiber, which is used in a number of medical devices, including orthopedic sutures.

• Customized applications:
  MG003 is the first member of a family of grades, we are currently also working on other grades. Contact us to discuss specific needs and requirements.
