In the climbing world, Dyneema is a name that resonates strongly \u2014 but it also carries a fair share of misconceptions and myths. Some have suggested, for example, that its thinness means lower strength, or that it cannot be used with knots. In this post, we want to give you solid information about Dyneema so you can fully understand this innovative material we use every day in climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dyneema is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber developed to deliver exceptional strength. It is up to 15 times stronger than steel and is considered one of the strongest materials relative to its weight.<\/p>\n\n\n

In climbing, Dyneema is primarily used in quickdraws, alpine draws and runners, sewn slings for building anchors, lifelines, and more recently in the stem of Black Diamond Ultralight Camalots \u2014 where they replaced the steel cable stem with Dyneema, reducing overall weight by 30%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
