About Our Dyneema® Netting
Dyneema® is a type of rope that features a high strength-to-weight ratio, low elongation, UV resistance, and minimal weight. These ropes are also highly flexible and incorporate very high failure resistance.
Dyneema® fibers are considered among the world’s strongest fiber yarns, so they produce nets that can really hold their own. Dyneema® is a synthetic fiber classified as an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, or UHMWPE, and has been noted as being 15 times stronger than steel when compared on a weight-by-weight basis.
In fact, Dyneema® nets are so robust that they are regularly used in law enforcement and military applications to protect both people and equipment. If this material is capable of protecting individuals from explosions, as it can, then it will have no trouble serving as a baseball backstop barrier and protecting players and spectators alike.
