Interest for high-strength fibres growing globally

摘要

Netherlands-headquartered DSM Dyneema is investing S$10 million to build a technical centre in Singapore that will house the country's first independent ballistic testing centre and will also drive R&D for Dyneema Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibre in the Asia Pacific region. It will be fully operational by 2012. The 2,500 sq m centre, which is DSM Dyneema's third global ballistics testing facility, will house two ballistic testing ranges as well as laboratories for tests on personal and vehicle protection applications with Dyneema, in accordance with global standards.
