Textiles incorporating Dyneema are used in a wide variety of industrial
sectors. In the chemical industry, for example, Dyneema is used to improve the
lifetime of the filtration cloth in batch centrifuge filtration units,
enhancing safety and reducing costs. Dyneema is also used in the warp of
compost tunnels, creating an open textile structure that lets in the air and
microbes necessary to the process, and providing the strength required to move
the heavy compost. In the forestry industry, workers rely on Dyneema chainsaw
chaps to protect them from serious injury: these protective chaps are so
strong that a chainsaw will cut out almost immediately upon contact.
Dyneema is also used in protective gloves and
aprons.
