AVIENT and Dyneema materials

AVIENT and Dyneema materials

AVIENT works with engineered materials for multiple industries. Following the completion of its Dyneema acquisition on 1 September 2022, the brand became part of Avient Protective Materials. For protective applications, the manufacturer presents Dyneema as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in fibre, unidirectional (UD) composite fabric and film formats. A useful enquiry therefore identifies the brand, grade and format rather than referring only to AVIENT.

What is already in the DELIM catalogue

Start with the Dyneema UHMWPE category to identify the relevant material direction, then build the enquiry around a specific designation.

• Dyneema SB115A, item 854
• Dyneema HB24A, item 1314

These are two separate catalogue records. They should not be treated as interchangeable materials or as finished protective products.

Information for accurate selection

Send the exact material designation, intended product type and the material’s role, required documents and specification revision. Where known, add the supply format, size, quantity, required date and whether you need a sample. This gives the manager enough information to check the requested record without substituting a similar name.

A material datasheet alone does not establish a protection class or certification for a finished product. Appropriate finished-product testing and documentation are required for that determination.

Requesting price, documents and a sample

Price and commercial terms depend on the exact designation and quantity. The availability of samples or documents is confirmed after the enquiry is clarified. DELIM accepts enquiries from manufacturers, procurement teams, product developers and retail buyers; retail buyers should also state the quantity they need.

Frequently asked questions

What should I provide if I only know the application?

Describe the product type, the material’s role, preferred format, quantity and required documents. A manager can help narrow the request to a catalogue direction, but the final designation still needs separate confirmation.

Are SB115A and HB24A the same material?

No. They are distinct catalogue records with separate designations. Selection should follow the requirements for the specific product and the available documentation.

Can I request a sample and technical documents?

You can include both needs in the enquiry. The manager will confirm availability, the document set and the sample format for the specific material.

Does DELIM accept retail enquiries?

Yes. Retail enquiries are accepted. Supply of the requested quantity, price and other terms are confirmed after the item has been identified.
