In this episode, we talk with William Smith and Keith McDaniels from DSM. Recently, they informed us that they would be releasing a new fiber that would be used for fabrics woven with Dyneema®. And better yet... would also be available to the MYOG market. We brought Keith and William on to discuss the pro's and con's that makers have seen with Dyneema® over the years as well as the changes they are making to Dyneema® fibers.

We talk about: 

• Dyneema® Diamond Technology 
• Bio-based Dyneema®
• Why Dyneema® is NOT a generic UHMWPE
• What other UHMWPE fabrics lack
